OA mandate from the European Research Council http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2008/01/oa-mandate-from-european-research.html
The Scientific Council of the European Research Council has released its Guidelines for Open Access.

Inderscience collection reaches 300
http://www.inderscience.com/
The addition of the International Journal of Strategic Business Alliances (http://www.inderscience.com/ijsba) brings the total number of titles either published or under development by Inderscience Publishers to 300. The initial establishment of major titles, in cooperation with centres of excellence, was followed by spin-off titles building on the success of these initial titles. Once the general subject areas were defined, journals were then started to address different aspects of these subjects. The number and scope of these journals has grown dramatically in the last half-a-dozen years, in tandem with increases in issue numbers for many of the established titles.

http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/01/google-to-provi.html

After lengthy discussions we have decided, with incredible creativity :-), to call these: Nice Web Sites. Details of previous Nice Web Sites are available in the Nice Web Site Archive.
