Ahmad Naeem Khan, Pakistan set to launch digital library, OneWorld, October 17, 2003. The library will launch in January 2004 and include 5,000 full-text journals. It will not be online, or at least not at first. It will be distributed to Pakistani universities on CD's. I can't tell whether the texts on the CD's are open-access or simply purchased by the Pakistani government. If any readers know, please drop me a line. (Thanks to LIS News.)

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.
