In October, PubMed Central (or a portion of it) became OAI-compliant. One consequence is that it now allows users to download the the full-text XML for its open-access articles and FTP the text, data, and image files associated with an article. See the PMC list of open-access PMC journals for the scope of these important new services.

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.
