Bentham Science Publishers plans to become the world’s largest OA publisher by launching over 300 OA journals before the end of 2007. (Background here.)
To follow its progress, see Bentham Open and pages to which it links. The wheels are turning. Bentham has recently put up a page listing 209 new OA journals. Each has a web site, but I haven’t clicked through on each one to see how many have actually launched.

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.
