In 1995 Bill Clinton issued an executive order ruling that once information was declassified and released to the public, it could not be reclassified later. Two days ago George Bush issued an executive order rescinding the Clinton order and at the same time classifying some previously public information. Which information? Details about U.S. "infrastructures" including the structure of the internet. (Thanks to Declan McCullagh in C|Net.com.)

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.
