Following up on last year's OSTP call for comments (which I also sent to foundation-l), the US government is seeking public comment on more technical questions (including policy, repository and standards development) related to sharing federally-funded scholarly data and publications. This process is relevant for shaping access to a major source of free knowledge, and such open access issues are of general interest to many of us. Comments are due in January.
