Is anyone doing this or trying to get something like this off the ground? Full transparency, community review, open discussion, votes on proposals, votes on who will conduct the research, and full submission of results for anyone to review (and possibly score)

that said i don't think it's possible to know a priori what a better structure for research would look like so i am in favor of pretty much any and every attempt at trying something new

i am willing to take the risk we make research too efficient and accidentally destroy the world
