Copied only to the OKFN open-access list.

It may be useful to consider the question: "what can we do to change the
situation?" - the OKF has a strong tradition of building things to change
the world. The distinction between publishing for communication and
publishing for reputation is valuable. Maybe by changing and improving the
former (which I think OKFN is well placed to do) we can separate them.

not capitalists.
