What I think is that we don't put the same effort indoing something with
the openaccess world: all the initiatives I know are volunteer-based.
Two pop up in my mind:
the Signalling Open Access project, aimed to put an icon aside every
reference in Wikipedia, to signal if the article is OA or closed. Ask
Daniel Mietchen for updates.
The other one is the possibility of uploading thousands of articles in
wikisource, directly in HTML. Remember, we have Wikipedia Zero: putting
stuff onWikisource means having a free digital library to everyone.
According to
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Mobile_partnerships
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero , it is Wikipedia
only.
Is that out of date? Does it now include Wikisource?
