The Australian Council on Open, Distance and E-Learning (ACODE) has released its Comments On The E-Research Strategic Framework Discussion. Excerpt: 'ACODE strongly believes in the development of sustainable repositories to manage and store e-Research content. The current FRODO projects funded under the ARIIC SII scheme are providing an excellent basis for the development of procedures, standards and software to capture important research data across a wide range of disciplines. Further support of such initiatives in the medium term to enable access to and dissemination of such content is highly recommended.' (Thanks to CAUL.)

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.
