The Academic Contributor Information System (ACIS Project) has posted an update describing some bug fixes and design changes. Background on the project: "We believe that scholarly authors are an important source of academic metadata. Individual academics are willing to share data about themselves, because it promotes their work. The data they can share is very useful when combined with the usual library-type documents data. In 2000, the idea was poineered by Markus Klink and Thomas Krichel through the HoPEc project in Economics. The ACIS project aims to create a general and powerful tool, which will help people implement the same idea in other areas than Economics."

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.
