Dear members of the community, Today we have officially launched the new foundation, with the support and help of the HP Press Relations team and MIT Library Press ( they did a fantastic job!). To coincide with the Foundation announcement we have redesigned and launched a new DSpace.org website. The purpose of redesigning the website was to achieve the following:
-Give the website broader appeal from those outside or new to the community -move it to an opensource platform, called Joomla, so the community can actually add content once they are registered users ( like news/ events/weblinks). -Be able to incorporate forums, blogs ect if these become useful to the community. The website is in no way intended to replace or duplicate the content on the wiki. The wiki is the key place for all the developers and interactive users to find the most complete sources of information. The website is just a "lightweight" more organized slice of what the community at large is doing. I would welcome any feedback you have, please remember this is a work in progress, and it was produced in the true- start up fashion- on a shoe string budget with a few people putting in very long hours. In particular I would like to thank Margaret Waters for all her hard work on this. If anyone in the community knows Joomla- or is interested in becoming a content producer on any section of the website- let me know and we can set you up with access to do so- in the true open source way! regards, Michele Kimpton Exec Director, DSpace Foundation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
