Aquatic Commons upgrade

The software upgrade of ePrints to version 3.3.11 is underway. Next Tuesday and Wednesday (June 25 and 26) there will be intermittent periods when the repository will be totally offline. In addition, editing and depositing has now been suspended until the upgrade is complete. The repository will fully re-open by Friday, June 28th.
On behalf of the Aquatic Commons Board and its editors, I would like to extend my thanks to Adi and Peter for scheduling this much needed upgrade well before our annual conference.
Regards.
Joan Parker, Chair
Aquatic Commons Board
