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

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.
