Here is a brief report from Steve Hitchcock of the University of
Southampton.
Following an earlier notice to this list, an important meeting was held to
consider the future of Eprints software. Putting Eprints Software into the
User Community June 23, 2004, London, organised by JISC and the School of
Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at Southampton University.
At this highly successful workshop that attracted over 100% of the booked
delegates, invited users and stakeholders in Eprints software from around
the world met to consider increased sharing and communications to ensure the
continued sustainability and development of Eprints, the most widely used
software for creating institutional archives. A report summarising the major
proposals to emerge from the workshop, and highlighting areas for further
investigation, is now available

invited to comment on the proposals, which are intended to bring forward
