One day I'll survey users of the OA tracking project (OATP). But since I won't be able to do it any time soon, let me throw out an open-ended question.
If you've used OATP as a reader or tagger, regularly or irregularly, did you find any part of the experience to be frustrating or confusing? If you have thoughts or suggestions, please drop me a line.
I know that Connotea is flaky these days, and often slow or down. Hence this may not be the best time to ask for feedback on OATP, which depends on Connotea. But I'd rather not wait to think about ways to improve the service. I have long-term plans for OATP and hope to keep them closely tied to user experiences. Thanks.

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.
