[Cwisusers] Internet Scout Project: CWIS Beta Version 0.9.4 Released

[David Sleasman]

The Internet Scout Project announces the release of
CWIS version 0.9.4.  This turnkey, open source software
package helps groups or organizations put an NSDL
collection portal online and integrate it with the
NSDL central repository via OAI with minimal investment
in technical resources or expertise.

The CWIS software is now available and may be
downloaded at:
   http://scout.wisc.edu/Projects/CWIS/downloads.php

Changes and additions for CWIS 0.9.4 include:

   - new guide and utility to assist in customizing
     the look and feel of your CWIS site,

   - new low vision user interface,

   - expanded support for managing user accounts,

   - new permission flags to control whether a user
     is allowed to post resource comments or post to
     forums, and

   - various minor bug fixes.

If you are already using SPT (the Scout Portal Toolkit),
or an earlier version of CWIS, upgrading to CWIS 0.9.4
should be seamless.

Feedback is greatly encouraged and will help to improve
the software's functionality and effectiveness.  Bug reports
and comments regarding CWIS should be sent to:
   cwissupport at scout.wisc.edu
