Crowdsourcing ideas on repository definition

We have had a couple of meetings recently to discuss the future of repositories. For these meetings we set up a site so that people could discuss the defintion of a repository and related ideas. This discussion has been very interesting so we have decided to open it up for wider comment.

You can find the site at: http://jiscrepository.ideascale.com/. Feel free to vote and comment on the ideas that are up there or submit your own if you have something to add.

The votes are purely a gauge of an idea’s popularity and will not be treated as anything other than that.

The information that we gather on this site will be used to prepare reports that are designed to guide JISC’s future funding plans for repositories.

The site is built using a free service called ideascale: http://www.ideascale.com/. It is very easy to use but it is a new service so it is still developing.
