Not a bad idea.  Now, how minimal could such a journal be and still
stand up in court as a legit publication, i.e. that it really is
prior art.  And how much would it really cost to do, and how would
it best be financed?  If we're talking about coredumping EVERYONE'S
prior art, this is a potentially large publication in terms of # of pages.
