Stevan Harnad writes (from a friend's account), "I hope files are not lost, but the worst case scenario could be the loss of the Hypermail version of the AmSci Archive (plus 20 years worth of back email files of my own). No lives were lost, but one of the world's most important optoelectronics labs has been."
Good luck to all our friends at Southampton in recovering from this disaster.

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.
