Marcus,
All I can say is 'bravo' for your work on the Librarians without borders group. Congratulations on doing this important work.
It's so rewarding to know that your efforts are making a difference. This is how I feel about my work with Open medicine and all the e-mails we get from all over the world.

Medical Library Association 2008 Meeting Wrap-Up Part 2--Librarians without Borders Task Force
As a member of the program committee for the MLA '08 conference that concluded in Chicago, the last few days have been exhilarating.

Why don't we consider moving BDL to Open Journal Systems and self-publish? John Willinsky has been very helpful in implementing OJS for Open Medicine, for which I blog as you know. We could do it as a U.S.-Canadian collaboration - international if we want.
I think we should consider moving BDL, particularly if your suggestion is rejected.
