Those of you interested in this thread might want to take a look at the Linkoping University Electronic Press <http://www.ep.liu.se> which was initiated in 1996 and now resides within the larger framework of EMTEK, the Entity for Methodology and Technology of Knowledge Management <http://www.ida.liu.se/ext/emtek/index.html> at the dept of Computer Science. The 'white paper' outlining the mission of the electronic press is called _Strategies and Policies for Linköping University Electronic Press_ and is available through <http://www.ep.liu.se> (good exercise trying to find it ;). It discusses a few issues I believe to be relevant for the current discussion.
