The Public Knowledge Project has released version 2.3 of its Open Journal Systems publishing software. OJS is free software which powers the Web sites of more than 2,000 journals, and is probably the most widely-used publishing platform for OA journals. The release includes new features for readers, authors, editors, and site administrators, as well as a rewritten core to improve maintainability. For example, the new version adds improved email and RSS notifications, additional language support, and trackbacks from other Web pages that link to an article.

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.
