3 ARROW installation immanent!
The RUBRIC Central team based at USQ have installed two newly-purchased servers which will host demonstrator sites, and allow partner access to our internal planning systems. A VITAL demonstrator is due to be installed by VTLS this cycle. This means an initial assessment of the base installations of DSpace, FEZ and ARROW will be reported in coming weeks.
4 RUBRIC Website updates
The RUBRIC website continues to evolve over the last few weeks to make the information more accessible and understandable. Recent changes include an updated Project Details page, a developing FAQ's section, a new Resources and Foster Toolkit section and an updated Contact Information and Related Projects sections.
Your feedback is appreciated.
