One of the largest French language scientific Open Access repository, Persee (http://www.persee.fr), is under threat after the university of Lumiere Lyon 2 appears to have withdrawn its support. This was only announced at the beginning of March, with effect in May 2011.
Everyone can help at least by signing the petition, and encourage others to do so. The community's support will hopefully enable the team to obtain enough time to plan the future hosting of the site and maintain all the know-how developed.
