Could the "Open Access Toolset Alliance" be something for the spnet project to join?

[ThomasA]

I became aware of the Open Access Toolset Alliance (http://www.oatools.org) recently and it sounds like it might be relevant for your project to join this organisation. I quote from their "About page":

The Open Access Toolset Alliance is a loose group of organizations and individuals who share several core goals. The aims and goals of the alliance are:

A. The creation of an open source toolset for open access scholarly publishing.
B. The facilitation of synchronous and asynchronous discussion and collaboration.
C. A locus point for the showcasing of otherwise distributed projects.

More specifically, as per the initial discussion, the group wishes:

A. to create a culture of exchange where innovations, problems and solutions can be discussed
B. to ensure that the various tools under development will/can be compatible
C. to keep abreast of developments that explore alternative routes.

Just let me know if I am completely out of line here?

Sounds perhaps "too generic" to be useful at the moment.
