Looks reasonable. The editors give papers a quick check, then anyone can 
read them while thou through the review process.

One point to note is that eLife charges US$2,000 for a paper to be 
published. This is similar to conference publishing, where you have to 
pay to attend the event to have your paper published.

Some other publications have had Reviewed Preprints.

This still doesn't solve the problem of finding reviewers. The approach 
I suggest would be to give reviewers a voucher for a free publication 
(or a fast track process).

Another approach would be to have readers vote for papers, with their 
votes weighted by reputation (based on what readers thought of their 
previous publications).
