A nice article - Myths concerning Open Access. A few parts are UK-centric, but relevant to all.
If the poster of the UCSC browser course article is wondering where the post is (I suspect not, it looked like a bulk advert job to me), it was stuffing up the page formatting, so we removed it. Feel free to send it again without aberrant HTML.

Open source bibliographics resources
On a related note, I just discovered this list of open standards and software for bibliographies. Quote:
"Being able to reliably store, find, use and communicate bibliographic data is a basic need of academic research. And yet the state of bibliographic software is largely stuck in the 1980s."
I absolutely agree. I've been after a decent, open-source *nix solution to reference managment/bibliographies for years. I still resort to doing it manually because nothing is good enough.
