The aim of this blog is to keep you up-to-date with what’s happening behind the scenes with EPrints.

There’s an awful lot of EPrints activity that goes unregarded apart from the people it directly concerns, so this blog is an attempt to make the EPrints activities a bit more open. To be honest I’m not sure whether it will turn out to be a strictly factual and academic reporting of Issues and Events, or whether it will contain insider gossip – a kind of repository manager’s Hello! magazine. (Get the lowdown on Chris Gutteridge’s latest hair color. And who was that handsome code gorilla at OR08?)

Here are some things on my mental list to blog about in the near future.

• The new EPrints 3.1 beta – what’s it got in it and why?
• Who’s on the EPrints team
• What are different sites doing with EPrints
• What projects are using EPrints?
