[Dev] Fwd: Re: mirror of OAI Repository Explorer

[Dieter Van Uytvanck]

Hi all,

Is there anyone who would like to host a mirror of the OAI explorer? The
main site is often too heavily loaded to be usable. For details: see below.

best regards,
Dieter

hi Dieter

you are most welcome to run a local copy of the code. a few other
projects do...

you can download the source from:
    http://dl.cs.uct.ac.za/projects/re/

there should be some sort of installation instructions in the package.

good luck!

ttfn,
