Dear all,

as a mathematical physicist I'm using arXiv all the time.
But now the CERN (the originator of the http-communication) has invented
a new publication-modell: SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access
Publishing in Particle Physics)   http://scoap3.org .
This is a partnership programm with some publishers, in which the
distribution of the articles takes place according Open Access rules
and the publishers are only paid for the organisation of the peer reviewing.
