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>  and Blogs <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>

For those of us who are NOT psychic, what is PROWE?
Communication by acronym does not  exhibit the communication standards to be expected of a JISC project
Tinytiny print at endo of the email is not sufficient
