what's your opinion on this, Joe & everyone? Answer 1: it will be non-traditional because it addresses not only wiki *software* but - see the second about - "a new research journal about Wikis and about research done by using Wikis" the "research done by using Wikis" is non-traditional because it can be research in any field and articles would address many different research cultures, not just software-centered ones. Answer 2: articles are not "submitted" to the journal's editors but written openly on the journals' platform (and then maybe sent to a review process elsewhere as well as opening up to public review here) for some background see a.
