[Pasig-discuss] Digital repository storage benchmarking

[Arthur Pasquinelli]

I was just thinking the same thing since we have had some good 
discussions now and in the past. Since I have kept a copy of all past 
PASIG emails, I'll work on it with the other PASIG steering committee 
members. We are in the middle of some administrative work for PASIG 
right now, so I'll add this to the things being worked on.
