[Foundation-l] Black market science

[Andrea Zanni]

Phoebe created https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries ,
I suggest everyone interested in OA just join us there. I know is
yet-another-list,
but it will allow librarians from the outside to step in and join the
conversation.

There are few threads in which we are basically discussing the same things,
it should be good to merge them in the same place.
(so I'll stop here and wait few days to post a reply in the new list :-)
