YourSci.com is a new site for collaborative, open science. (Thanks to Synthesis.) From the front page:
YourSciCom is a community for scientists in all fields of life science. We offer a platform where you and other scientists can work together on completely open research projects and post individual experiments and ideas as the work proceeds. In addition, you can find and add protocols, publish the always so hard to find negative data, and interact with your peers. Create an account for free and start collaborating!

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.
