We have had a couple of meetings recently to discuss the future of repositories. For these meetings we set up a site so that people could discuss the definition of a repository and related ideas. This discussion has been very interesting so we have decided to open it up for wider comment.
... Feel free to vote and comment on the ideas that are up there or submit your own if you have something to add. ...
The information that we gather on this site will be used to prepare reports that are designed to guide JISC’s future funding plans for repositories. ...

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.
