ARROW: Australian Research Repositories Online to the World
ARROW: Australian Research Repositories Online to the World
Released late last week, this project description outlines a plan for a network of repositories of academic content comprising e-prints, digital theses and electronic publishing.

Where Have All the Bloggers Gone?
Where Have All the Bloggers Gone?
Alan Levine observes that "My RSS reader stays pretty grey these days. Many of the past everyday reads of edubloggers seems to have sputtered out." Quite so, and this was to be expected.

Steve Gillmor predicts big things for RSS in 2004:
