We've been working hard in the background of the repository, QMRO, to make improvements before launching the service to the public. Most of these improvements have been concerned with mapping fields in PubLists to the right fields in DSpace so that a useful set of information about the item is displayed. This has caused some problems and having applied a new set of configurations is still not quite right.
We're also moving to a new domain name for QMRO http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk which will be the permanent URL for the service once it has been launched. Unfortunately, work on this has been only partly successful and the site has been temporarily taken offline. Please also be aware that QMRO downtime means that there will be no full text upload service via PubLists. The rest of PubLists is working as normal.
We hope to have the repository back online by Monday 1st November, but watch this space.
There is still much to do with the repository, but we are making progress and hope to have a public launch date soon.
