[Dspace-general] question for the list

[MacKenzie Smith]

Salve Andrea,

Thanks for this information, I didn't know about your service and it is 
very interesting. We do intend to make a place on the wiki for service 
providers like CILEA and BioMed Central to register information about 
themselves, and possibly also private consultants who work with 
institutions to help them bring up DSpace. I agree that this would be very 
valuable for the community, and I promise we'll get to it very soon but 
there are several other things in the queue to do first!

Thanks again,

MacKenzie
