The University of Toronto Department of Medical Biophysics tried to organize a debate on the merits of the Public Library of Science. But it was a bust --debaters on both sides supported it. So the debate became a discussion of whether PLoS was still necessary in light of other initiatives like HINARI and the Budapest Open Access Initiative. A most heartwarming failure.

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.
