An interesting article in PLOS Biology came out last week: Funding the Way to Open Access Robert Terry http://tinyurl.com/6mlxm At the end he talks a little about Wellcome's "discussion with the US National Library of Medicine about the possibility of creating a UK PubMed Central (UKPMC) as a publicly accessible repository for Trust- funded research."
