The inaugural issue of BiblioAcid (March 2004) was devoted to La 'crise des périodiques'. It contains the following articles, the first three of which are translations from English originals.
Walt Crawford, L'accès des bibliothèques au savoir
Christopher Reed, Dites non aux éditeurs de revues scientifiques profiteurs
Philip Davis, Juste prix, clauses de confidentialité et une proposition pour équilibrer le jeu économique
Marlène Delhaye, Une alternative aux revues commerciales : les revues en Accès Ouvert
(Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

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.
