New OA journal of digital humanities

Digital Humanities Quarterly is a new peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) and currently calling for submissions. From the site:
DHQ is also a community experiment in journal publication, with a commitment to: [1] experimenting with publication formats and the rhetoric of digital authoring, [2] co-publishing articles with Literary and Linguistic Computing (a well-established print digital humanities journal) in ways that straddle the print/digital divide, [3] using open standards to deliver journal content, [4] developing translation services and multilingual reviewing in keeping with the strongly international character of ADHO.

DHQ will publish a wide range of peer-reviewed materials, including: [1] Scholarly articles, [2] Editorials and provocative opinion pieces, [3] Experiments in interactive media, [4] Reviews of books, web sites, new media art installations, digital humanities systems and tools, [5] A blog with guest commentators. Materials published in DHQ will appear as soon as they are ready, with quarterly announcements marking each new issue. The inaugural issue will be announced in March 2006.
