More on the news from the Public Library of Science....(1) It has has an online submission form for the first of its open-access journals, PLoS Biology. (2) It is recruiting PLoS Advocates, who will help spread the word about PLoS and open-access scientific publishing. (3) It has redesigned its web site and added a lot of important new content, including a very useful new FAQ and downloadable PPT slides to help describe PLoS and make the case for open access.

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.
