For some time we have been trying to get more information on public, active Fedora repositories for inclusion in ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories). At the moment there are around 1000 repositories in ROAR but only a tiny handful of those are based on Fedora. The same is also true in OpenDOAR (SHERPA's Directory of Open Access Repositories). This may be because many Fedora installations are not repositories per se, or because they are running in experimental status, or because they may be intended as intranet-only resources. However, if you are the manager of a public repository based on Fedora, please could you register it at ROAR (http://roar.eprints.org/index.php?action=add) and/ or OpenDOAR (http://www.opendoar.org/suggest.php) Or if you know the manager of a Fedora repository, please pass the message on! -- Les Carr ROAR team PS If you are the manager of ANY repository, please take the opportunity now to check that you appear in ROAR / DOAR for maximum coverage!
