Hi all, Here is a quick update about SWORD, and the SWORD v2 project in case you are interested: - SWORD now has a wikipedia entry! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWORD_(Protocol) If you have a few spare minutes, please have a read of this, and if you can, then edit / add / improve / correct / expand the content. The page is quite bare right now, so new content would be great. http://swordapp.org/2011/01/sword-wikipedia-entry/ - The SWORD Technical Advisory Panel: In order to help ensure the new version 2 of the SWORD repository deposit standard develops in a way that meets the needs of its user community, a technical advisory panel has been formed. This will help us to ensure that it exhibits best-practice in the area of Internet standards, that developers are able to work with it, and that it tries to be generic enough to allow interoperability with other types of systems whilst maintaining its focus on repository resource deposit. New members welcome! http://swordapp.org/2011/01/sword-technical-advisory-panel/ - SWORD and the Open Journal Systems: The SWORD blog contains an interview with Alec Smecher, the lead developer of the PKP Open Journals System (OJS). It talks about how OJS uses SWORD, and possible future uses. http://swordapp.org/2010/12/sword-and-the-open-journal-systems/ For further news and updates, please visit the SWORD blog and website: - http://swordapp.org/ Thanks, Stuart Lewis ============ SWORD Community Manager
