A quick update on the website…

March 5, 2010 – 3:42 pm

I just wanted to post a quick update on the website. I have now finished most of the pages, although there are still a few that I’m working on, and will hopefully have these finished in the next couple of weeks. You may see that there are now a lot more documents online, this was initially needed for the final report to JISC, but I hope that this will provide useful to visitors to the site as well.
Please let me know if there is anything else that I should add (or if you spot a mistake!)
