Update on the EC experimental OA mandate

When the European Commission announced its OA pilot project and experimental OA mandate last week, the project home page was largely empty.  But it has now been filled with the basic information already promulgated through last week's press release and associated documents.

One document is new, however:  Open Access Pilot in FP7: information for researchers, a short brochure highlighting the main points of the policy. 

The EC says we can expect more information on September 1.  Stay tuned.
