-To facilitate networking/info sharing a suggestion was made to create a list on the wiki of all regional/country specific DSpace user lists here: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpaceResources#Mailing_Lists^{Image Removed}. Please post lists that you are aware of here. If your region/country does not have a DSpace user list and you believe it would be useful, please post the address on the wiki link above.

-General info about DSpace - as discussed, there is a spec sheet on DSpace available: http://duraspace.org/images/specsheet_DSpace.jpg^{Image Removed}. Val also mentioned a comparative analysis of the repository platforms that she had, but the document turned out NOT to be a comparative analysis of the various repository software – instead it is a technical rating of how DSpace ranked on specific technical requirements. This study was NOT done by anyone at DuraSpace (or the previous supporting organizations, DSpace Foundation or Fedora-Commons). It was done either for or by NASA in the USA. DuraSpace personnel did provide feedback. You can find the analysis under the file section of the Ambassador Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/dspace-ambassadors/files^{Image Removed}.
If anyone is looking for comparative analysis between various repository platforms there was some good information collected by RSP (a JISC project from the UK): http://www.rsp.ac.uk/repos/software^{Image Removed}.

-Sources for help with questions it anyone gets stuck: mailing lists, IRC (there is generally a developer or 2 hanging out there) or email Val
