One sign of the public interest in this launch: When I tried to visit the PLoS Biology web site just now, I got an apologetic message that the server was overloaded and a request to try again later. Then I was shunted over to the PubMed Central edition of the articles in the inaugural issue. (PS: Be patient, but don't stop spreading the word.)

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.
