DFG has plans to accelerate OA archiving

Germany's DFG has issued a new position paper, Wissenschaftliche Literaturversorgungs- und Informationssysteme: Schwerpunkte der Förderung bis 2015, June 2006. My German isn't strong enough to plow through it, but I've learned from medinfo that the DFG plans to participate in LOCKSS and launch a project like the Dutch Cream of Science to accelerate the pace of OA archiving.

PS: For background on DFG's OA policy, see my article in SOAN for April 2006.
