But once the site is set up, those with access privilege can change documents at the site autonomously. You seldom have to liaise with the person running the server. You need a sponsor to provide space on a server and to meet the costs of connection to the Net. In most parts of the world your academic institution will sponsor you. In our case the Royal Society of NZ offered to host the site and pay for the Web traffic.
Every publishing house has an infrastructure of editors and reviewers.
In the case of journal publishing, most or all of those positions are filled by academics on a voluntary basis. A similar voluntary co-operative of academics is needed for Web publishing. We've found that it takes time to get it together. By nature or calling, academics are skeptical independent individuals. So we still don't have a full complement for the editorial advisory board, but we are confident that we will end up with the right people.
