Stephen Carlson's blog, Hypotyposeis, has been discussing the need for OA repositories and journals in the field of Biblical Studies.
(PS: For those following this thread, there's been a lot of work on how OA increases impact since Steve Lawrence's pioneering work in Nature. For example, see Steve Hitchcock's thorough and continuously updated bibliography.)

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.
