Re: [Dspace-tech] IMPORTANT NEWS: Important Info for Future Editions | Ranking Web of Repositories
Would it be possible for DuraSpace leadership to contact them to explain the problems with their proposal? I agree that this seems only likely to diminish the relevance of their rankings.

I will not ask my users to send their passwords in the clear. It's not even open for discussion. Even if we set aside the issue of login details, I am willing to bet there are a fair contingent of researchers who would prefer to keep their research activities out of a cleartext channel--despite the many concerns about SSL being compromised, running a repository on port 443 is, I think, at least a good-faith effort at securing the usage of the repository. Is this port requirement an attempt to penalize institutions who embargo some of their content? If that's Webometrics' desire, they will have to make a better effort than to lump all port 443 repositories into that category. It's a pity, I realize they have good intentions, but I think these decisions will likely diminish the relevance of their rankings. --Hardy From: TAYLOR Robin [robin.tay...@ed.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2014 5:42 AM To: Hilton Gibson; dspace-tech; General List Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] IMPORTANT NEWS: Important Info for Future Editions | Ranking Web of Repositories Hi Hilton, It looks like a large proportion of DSpace instances would be excluded if this proposal were implemented.

We truly believe the lengthy and useless addresses coined for the repository items have a negative impact in their web visibility and affect the authors will to deposit as it makes difficult the citation of full texts in future papers. http://repositories.webometrics.info/en/node/26 Hi All Sorry for the cross-posting How will this affect DSpace installations?

Read the Dev Challenge description and manifesto [7] and get ready to participate. 4. Practice eating oysters [8] while you wax poetic [9] on your laptop to get your repository elbow ready for the big event [10]. 5. Watch for the release of the OR 2013 Hackfest and Dev Challenge Ideas [11]. 6. Do your best to attend the all-day Hackfest on Monday, which will kick off the Challenge and help build a creative team that will stay with you for the rest of your career. 7. Take lots of pictures at the Challenge with you and your buds so you can send them to you mom and dad.

Andrea - You might want to talk to Bill Ingram here at Illinois - wingr...@illinois.edu.

Hi all, recently I've come across several cases where it would be really useful to set up browse indexes that work only for specific communities/collections. For example, a browse by number in series option for a collection of working papers or a browse by supervisor option for a collection of theses. These browse options shouldn't be shown in the repository-wide list of browse options, nor in the list of browse options for collections that don't need these indexes. Am I right to assume that this isn't currently possible in DSpace? I'm about to hack something together that will fit my needs -- but from what I can see at the moment this needs to be a reasonably ugly hack.
