The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is soliciting examples of successful knowledge-sharing experiences in developing countries. The UNDP will request more detailed reports on the 20 most effective examples, invite the authors to present them at a Trieste meeting in July 2005, and publish the results in a volume, Sharing Innovative Experiences. I'm sorry I didn't notice this sooner: the submission deadline is in two days (March 21). From the site: 'We are inviting nominations for Southern initiatives with successful experiences using knowledge networks to promote the sharing of local knowledge....National and local governmental agencies, NGOs, and scientific and technological institutions are invited to propose potential contributors as soon as possible. Self-Nominations are Welcome.'

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.
