Great idea Martin. Copying in John Byrne and Andy Mabbett, the two Wikimedians in Residence in question, as they may have something to add. Also Bekka Kahn, co-ordinator of the Open Coalition, as she might have some thoughts too.

I'm very open to doing a guest blog post on the theme on open access. It would be nice if in time for that week we could get a few different posts together from academic Wikipedians. I'll see what I can do. Can we nudge CRUK/ Royal Society/ RSC ? Failing that, we could consider reposting or transcribing the OA-related sessions from Wikimania to remind people just how good they were.

All ideas welcome.
Tricky. The traditional approach is featured articles but it is unlikely one could be created in time.
Might be able to get something like

or
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Multiple_Dendrogramma.png
Through featured pictures mind.
A talk on what open access journals are out there that wikipedians could cite might be of interest (PLOS one is great but it isn't my field).
