Six scientific publishers have launched the Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX) to produce royalty-free fonts for nearly 8,000 special characters and glyphs used in mathematics and STM publishing. The fonts, available in the Fall of 2003, will be usable both for print and online publication. (If you've ever tried to post web pages with special mathematical characters, you know that these fonts are badly needed.)

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.
