...it's interesting you should say that!

Of course there is already http://maps.repository66.org/ which does this for
all repository platforms, but I have been working with Michelle and Lauren
at the DSpace Foundation to provide them with a data feed of just the DSpace
repositories. This is in place, we just need to get the website sorted to
display it.

If anyone wants to add their repository to the map, register it with ROAR
(http://roar.eprints.org/) and optionally OpenDOAR
(http://www.opendoar.org/) and the mashup will do its work and display your
repository along with its growth statistics.

Thanks,


Stuart
