Before we all get too depressed at the thought of all this signing,
perhaps it's worth pointing out that (if I have understood/remembered
correctly):
-depositors need only sign once, not for every item they put into Jorum,
and
-to get stuff out, only the institution need sign a piece of paper, not
every individual user.
Hopefully someone from Jorum will let us know if I'm wrong.
