[Dspace-general] New DSpace Installations?

[val@dspace.org]

Sandy -

For now we are just putting together a list of most recent DSpace  
instances in order to highlight them on dspace.org. We hope that  
references from such a list will help quantify for others what it  
takes to get a DSpace site up and running.

A longer term project is the 'master' list of DSpace instances which  
will combine the wiki and ROAR lists and include other known instances  
as well. I agree that it needs to include things like geography, among  
other things to be truly useful to the community.  I welcome  
additional suggestions.

>> Hello Valorie,
>>
>> welcome to the DSpace community.

>> There is a list of instances on:
>> http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DspaceInstances
>> (btw. the second most popular page on the wiki)
>> You may see the newest by viewing it's history.
>> If you want a complete list in another format, I can sent you one.
>> There is also the repository66 page, thanx to Stuart Lewis:

>>
>> In my opinion a comprehense resource with complete info about dspace
>> installations would be good. I fear just an excerpt of instances in yet
>> another list will cause the lists to be out of sync soon.
>>
>> I'm thinking in terms of a register like the one for OAI Data providers,
>> with some base information and contact data, but also information about
>> customization grade.
>>
>> In my experience people like to contact folk nearby as this offers the
>> possiblity to drop by, see the instance in action and ask loads of
>> questions. Or at least they want someone within their locale (i18n).
