Pitch Journal.

Pitch Journal - " A peer reviewed online journal in Instructional and Learning Technology. Articles in Pitch focus on pedagogical, technological, sociological, legal, and moral issues related to opening access to educational opportunity. Example topics include reusable media / learning objects, scalability issues, informal social networks for supporting learning, legal schemes for the sharing of open educational materials, and the right to education."

More from the site:

"Pitch uses a democratic method of peer review where all readers participate in the review process. Instead of sending submitted articles away for 12 months of secret review by three individuals, Pitch allows your peers to review your work. In Pitch everyone "pitches in" to rate papers submitted to the journal."

They even have an RSS Feed, in which you will be updated on new articles waiting to be peer reviewed. In reading more about Pitch in the FAQ, if a submitted article is not commented on within 14 days, it is removed and rejected from Pitch. The Pitch concept is interesting, but I don't believe that just because an article doesn't recieve comments, it is not an "acceptable" paper. Still, an interesting concept (link via David Davies)
