Dear Professor Harnad

I wanted to let you know that we are planning to include an ePrints
server in the forthcoming National Electronic Library Health.

(Draft home page <http://www.nelh.nhs.uk/test/test.htm> info about the
NeLH at <http://www.nelh.nhs.uk>)

Will the new ePrints software be available soon?

I would like to thank you for the work you do to promote open
archiving. As you have said on several occasions, one day people will
wonder why it took so long to achieve. The biomedical community is
perhaps not the easiest to work with. I am not sure what will come of
our ePrints server, but we will see if we can make it part of the
community.

One further step we may try to take is to see if some contributors will
make their datasets available, as a guarantee of their findings, and to
give other researchers a chance to re-analyse data.

kind regards
