[Open-access] Q2A

Tue Feb 28 15:51:23 UTC 2012

Laura, Nils,

Could you tell me if it is possible to have the Q&A lite plugin installed
so that I will be able to test it for the @ccess site.
In my optimism I had planned to do this tonight because my son who holds a
doctorate in computer sciences is there to help me
