I recently sent out a call for additions to my FOS Timeline. I was looking for some of the early and influential institutional eprint archives but ready to add any landmark events that I didn't already list. For a week, I got several emails a day suggesting new items of all kinds. I'm pleased to say that the Timeline has now reached a new plateau, and I thank all those who wrote in with suggestions. Have a look. As always, I welcome additions and corrections.

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.
