Over at Open Access News, Peter Suber notes the launch of Molecular Biology Databases, which he describes as "a website to evaluate the openness of databases in molecular biology." Developed by Shirley Fung through Science Commons, the goal is to analyze the interfaces of biological databases to assess their compatibility with open access goals. Suber writes, "This is a very time-consuming but useful job. Everyone in molecular biology should be grateful, especially if the project leads to more consistent policies on open data across the field."
