We are now finalising the repository development plans with our chosen developers Aptivate (http://www.aptivate.org), and work will commence in March. Aptivate will be working closely with our colleagues at the Oxford University Research Archive (http://ora.ouls.ox.ac.uk/access/) who will host the Fedora infrastructure for our new repository.
In December 2007 we wrote to all university departments and centres in the UK that conduct research, teaching and/or dissemination activities in issues related to migration, conflict, development and human rights, and they were asked to complete a questionnaire as a way to kick-off this consultation process. Questionnaires have now been returned and are being analysed.
