  10. Easy Screenshot Home

  11. Easy to understand? • These kind of presentations are needed. • Technical documentation is complete, but all other documentation is still lacking • Tutorial and a wide range of example objects lacking • eSciDoc days • We’ve had personal help.

  12. Easy to Install? • Straightforward, but still no installer • Takes a computernerd at least half a day • Installing on different platforms: no problem. We ran it on: • Windows • Mac OS • Fedora Linux

  13. Trustworthy? • MPDL is a heavy user of eSciDoc with PubMan, ViRR and Faces • Focus is currently on bugfixing for version 1, not on adding new features • 2.500 unit tests

  14. Support? • What kind of support can you expect? • Though funding runs out mid 2009 MPDL and Fiz Karlsruhe have committed to support until 2011 • Mailinglist and bugtracker available • Community? • DANS and MPDL • In need of growth

  15. Under construction • eSciDoc Java client in alpha state • Workflow manager untested • Fedora 3.0 content models and disseminators not implemented yet

  16. UpcomingeSciDoc: Version 1
