In response to "What additional design features would a blog have to incorporate for it to become truly scholarly communication?" I would refer back to your original post and argue that we are already there. That is the epitome of scholarly communication, and further more, it has a "memory" which allowed me to run across it 6-months later. Had this communication occurred in "traditional" scholarly channels (journal editing, peer review, conferences, etc) I never would have been enriched by this exchange. I am toying with these very issues in my own PhD work. In an attempt to push the boundaries of scholarly communication myself have "published" a <a href="http://wolfworld.typepad.com/practicum" rel="nofollow">blog</a> as a form of scholarship. In order for it to be accepted by my practicum (pre-dissertation) committee, I had to create a linear form as well, but it was an attempt to demonstrate what "blog as scholarship" would look like. Best of luck in your journeys! I just came across this discussion and I am absolutely fascinated.
