Retirement of old demonstration servers

Since the very first SWORD project, there have been two demonstration SWORD servers provided.  These were funded by the original SWORD project.  They have been in existence for a number of years, and have served as excellent demonstration servers for SWORD clients. However, they have now had to be retired.

http://dspace.swordapp.org/ used to provide a demonstration DSpace system. Instead, it is possible (thanks to Duraspace for making this available) to use the http://demo.dspace.org/ server.  http://fedora.swordapp.org/ has not been replaced, but if anyone knows of a public test instance of Fedora that could be used, we’d be happy to update this page.
