Objectives:

** 1. Building a community for an epijournal in Mechanics **

The purpose of this discussion group is to promote the creation of an epijournal in Mechanics, namely an open access electronic journal taking its contents from preprints deposited on open archives such as arXiv or HAL. These preprints cannot be published elsewhere and undergo a rigorous review process similar to the best journals in the field.

** 2. Elaboration of a manifest for dissemination purposes **
