In the June 6 SearchDay, Chris Sherman reviews Wondir, an open source, non-profit synthesis of meta-searching, deep internet searching, and live human Q&A. Quoting the Wondir about page: "Wondir will unite Search and Community -- two pillars of the Internet that have not yet lived up to their potential -- by making human help accessible and as simple as asking a question of a search engine." Wondir will launch a beta later this summer, and be ready for prime time by fall. Wondir is looking for programmers, question-answerers, and donors.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
