My guess is that it shouldn't double up because I can see a wider role for OKF university groups beyond Mendeley's current interests (e.g. teaching resources, graduate work, and collecting Open information about the University). I am keen on working with companies as long as the Openness of the collaboration is assured. I have seen too many cases in the past where things have become closed down so it's important to make sure that OKF's rights and contributions are protected indefinitely. > - Basically all European universities are members of http://www.eua.be , > which could be approached as well.
