[open-science] eLife, Coko, Hindawi Limited and Digirati commit to Libero for open-source publishing

[Emily Packer]

Hi Ingo,

Thanks very much for your message!

To answer your question, the code in the Libero repositories is in the
early days of re-architecting the existing platform. Once the fundamental
changes to the data models and APIs have been changed, we'll move over
functionality where we can from the previous version. We expect a minimum
viable product of the new evolution to be available in Q1 next year. We'll
post information and updates to our usual mailing lists, but the best place
to keep track is on the Slack channel.

Unfortunately, the community Slack channel cannot be opened up to any email
address, but we have made a sign-up link on the Libero homepage that anyone
can use, or you can use this link:
https://join.slack.com/t/libero-community/shared_invite/enQtNDc1MTUzMTM5MDQwLWE0YTZkYmVkMThhYWI1NTgzOWZkNjU2ZDgyNTRjZmJlZGRlOWFiYmNlZmE4MjZiMjRiNmM3ZDgzMmJjZjJhNjc
.

I hope this helps? Please let me know if you'd like any further information
at this stage.

Best wishes,

Emily
