  • Runners Up: Your package will be certificated* free by the EPrints team ready for the launch of the Bazaar Store.

• Help and guides on developing a package @ The EPrints Bazaar

Ideas

• In the Import_and_Export_Plug-ins exercise we start to import the epub format into EPrints. Why not complete this exercise fully including flashy abstract page using some of the other guides to help you.

• Dataset Manipulation, Triggers and Events shows how you can use micro-services to enhance metadata relating to EPrints. Why not think of another one?

• Style (CSS) and Eloquence (Languages) Good at design? Know 6 languages?

• Stats modules anyone? EPrints does record all the access log information...

• Issues reporting modules?

• Twitter integration?

• + loads of others

You are not limited in any way and i'm sure you can think of much better extensions than us!

 * Certification will only be granted to those packages which can be certificated as not risky to users and their data.
