Scott Carlson, Cornell Will Offer Open-Source Package for Producing Electronic Journals, Chronicle of Higher Education, October 1, 2004 (accessible only to subscribers). Excerpt: "Cornell University will release an open-source software package that will help colleges, university presses, and libraries put out journals and monographs electronically. The software, called DPubS, for Digital Publishing System, was originally designed to produce Project Euclid, Cornell University Library's collection of electronic mathematics and statistics journals. The software helps editors and publishers manage the production process for journal articles and other text. A beta version of the software will be available in 2005. The production of DPubS is being supported through a $670,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation."

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
