[JoPP-Public] Open access / academic social network-repository

[Francesca Musiani]

Hi Mathieu,

i've been following the discussion on Air-L with great interest and
definitely support further discussions about "green" open access and the
idea of a decentralized academic social network. Both of them could be ways
to channel towards volunteer projects the funding that, as you highlight,
is indeed starting to become available for open access and it woud be great
if more of it could go towards the "good kind". ;)

Cheers,
Francesca
