New Registry/directory services at VAO/STScI

[olga at ipac.caltech.edu]

Hi Theresa,

Just in case you have some time and we can look into the problems, I am
having while trying to check/edit my services in that new interface,
apparently the same problem IRSA people are having, and if we will be able
to sort it out, I can share it with them too.

Thanks
Olga

>> After a great deal of work moving the underlying registry at STScI to a

>> experience any new issues with the system, please contact the VAO help
>> desk or myself.  A formal release with documentation and available code
>> will be part of the VAO. We expect to have a RegTAP service and at least
>> one mirror system up in the near future as some of our next projects.
