Federico,

This is a really neat initiative and brings together a lot of thinking
around oa repositories, indexes, apis, citation practices, and author
engagement.

I have one request if you don't mind...

*Could you share the email text that you're using to send to authors with
this group?*

I am not concerned if publishers don't like this project, but I wouldn't
want them to be upset* just because* language gave them a misunderstanding
about how Wikipedia treats copyright (which is we treat it appropriately,
and share freely whenever possible).

Thank you,
Jake Orlowitz
