[Dspace-general] dSpace and long-term digital archiving?

[Grace Carpenter]

Hi Stephen,

Check out the DSpace Wiki at http://wiki.dspace.org. The DSpaceProjects 
page and DSpaceTwo pages both have a lot of information about various 
development projects underway (or in the planning stages). Rob Tansley's 
page (in the DSpaceWikiUsers section) also has a list of non-DSpace 
preservation-related projects.

Also, if preservation is your particular area of interest, you might want 
to sign up for the dspace-preservation listserv (if you haven't done so 
already) at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/dspace-preservation.
