[okfn-discuss] Proposal for OpenThesis Project

[Daniel Mietchen]

Hello again,

Nature Precedings have replied positively about mass-uploading theses,
and I think it is worth exploring this possibility in more detail.
Anyone interested in taking over?

Dear Daniel,


Apologies for the delay in responding to your email.  You should
contact me directly to discuss uploading of theses. In general, we'd
be delighted to host these. We don't have too many at the moment,
however, if there are many of them, we might want to discuss creating
either a separate document type (so they are separate from other
manuscripts) or a collection (e.g.
http://precedings.nature.com/collections).

I look forward to hearing more about what you have in mind.

Best,
Hilary
