Dear Leo,
Many thanks. It will be registered immediately. DARE has done a splendid job, and has made
Netherlands an OA Lamp Unto the Nations!

Bravo!

Yes, meeting that milestone by December should be the first priority. I
am sure both Tim Miles-Board of EPrints who designed the original version,
and Eloy of Rodrigues of Minho, who very kindly (and rapidly!) designed one
for DSpace, will both be happy to advise the DARE software developers on how
to implement the button, and it will not take long!
Best wishes and many congratulations,
Stevan
