@bibliolater @bookstodon I think one thing holding back open access publishing is the lack of good software for running a journal. OJS is one of the few things available, but it has essentially no support for handling LaTeX. I'm currently building something for a journal that will help automate the LaTeX production process. I plan to make it open source and I would welcome collaborators.
