Project DARE has announced five projects that it will fund in 2004. Twelve others will be announced in mid-July. The current five "are projects forming part of the DARE (Digital Academic Repositories) programme for 2003 – 2006, the object of which is to improve the availability of and access scholarly information using a network of repositories. They will focus on specific areas of research, thereby making use of news facilities, community websites, subject-specific repositories and knowledge centres. The object is to provide a positive boost to stocking repositories. They will also work on bringing about the intelligent searchable portable for research information in the Netherlands."

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.
