Dear registry,

To register its services, the VAMDC Consortium has been using the 
Astrogrid registry for several years now. Last year, some problems 
appeared with it due to a migration to a newer server
with newer libraries. Moreover we were annoyed by a few bugs that we 
identified along the way.

We did not have the source code of the registry, only a build of the 
webapp, and were unable to do any modification which was problematic.

To remedy the situation, Guy Rixon, who participates to the project and 
worked on Astrogrid some years ago, cleaned the source code of the 
Astrogrid registry by removing unused libraries and
provided us with a buildable version, using maven 3. It was also an 
occasion to fix the bugs ( like a reference to localhost in a wsdl file).

It complies with the previous registry interface 1.0 specification and 
provides an OAI interface. However it is of course still relying on an 
XML database.

The registry is now up and running 
(http://registry.vamdc.eu/registry-12.07) and its source code is 
available on github (https://github.com/VAMDC/astrogrid-registry).
