Les, I registered the domain eprintz.org and setup an email address [log in to unmask] for exactly that purpose while at RepoCamp in July. Haven't gotten around to doing ought else with it yet, but maybe one day... In my (vapourware) version, you didn't enter a dialogue, but could include optional metadata in the body of the email or as a second attachment. Behind the scenes the system talks to all manner of lovely Web services that do subject classification, identify entities - like people - and fill in what they can too and you'd then get a confirmation saying "Deposit with this metadata" complete and if you were unhappy you'd have to visit the system to fix any problems. Version 2.0 would be neater in that it wouldn't store anything at all. It'd just recognise your email address - or even just the domain - and match it to one or more SWORD endpoints and deposit in your IR on your behalf. Isn't there a JISC call out soon? ;-) Pete Cliff Research Officer, UKOLN
