I have a question: when did the OA movement "officially" begin - the
earliest dates I have are:

2001 - editors/authors decide to boycott journals that do not make
content OA within 6 months
2002 - Budapest Open Access Initiative
2003 - Berlin declaration, Bethesda statement, etc., etc.
 
so would it be correct to say that the OA movement started in 2000/2001 ?

thanks
