My apologies, I should have given the project's name in full in my first sentence. PROWE (Personal Repositories Online Wiki Environment) is a JISC-funded digital repositories project. It has researched the extent to which informal repositories within Wiki <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki> and Blogs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog> could meet the needs of part-time distance tutors for sharing and storing resources in the context of their own professional development. Project partners are the Open University and the University of Leicester. Further details are available on the project website at www.prowe.ac.uk <http://www.prowe.ac.uk> <http://www.prowe.ac.uk> Anne ________________________________ From: Repositories discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of kornbrot Sent: 05 December 2007 17:44 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: PROWE: End of Project Dissemination Event For those of us who are NOT psychic, what is PROWE?
