Notice though that some meetings should be maintained. Going for online review should be accomapnied by initiatives on how to let people "meet" in new ways for discussing common projects on the basis of past results.

Having an online system would allow anyone to post the work and get reviewed by other people. It would definitely help students to get faster feedback and may help in reducing the years spend in graduate school, just waiting for the review to come back. some conferences take as much as 6 months for review.

On-line conferences and workshops will have several advantages:

- greater inclusion of researchers from developing nations

- faster dissemination of research results (some conferences can take more than 6 months from 1st CFP to the actual event)

- less harm to the environment from the reduced carbon footprint of all those planes trains and automobiles!

- more likely to reduce the clique nature of existing research areas and associated conferences

Both (papers and videos) should be reviewed. The good point of conferences is to listen to the presenter and this aspect can be realised with uploaded videos.

In fact, I had this idea in my mind since a couple of years. I am also not satisfied with the review process of some top rated journals. In my view, reviewing papers on the open forum should be on a voluntary basis, but the reviewers of journals must get some incentive for their work and at the same time they should be accountable for their reviewers in some measurable way.

Much cheaper and serious that enables good feedback chances. This eould make a nice review for articles to be published.
