  Sure, JMBC and AdR are working on opening an LIS archive using
  the eprints software. Over the Internet, it really is quite unimportant
  where the archive is located. I am sure that they will welcome 
  your contributions and make sure that what is in the archive will
  be available throught DoIS.

  I am not sure about the time plan of action on their behalf. I presume
  that relevant details will be made available on the rclis discussion
  list. You can either subscribe to that list at 
  http://lists.openlib.org/mailman/listinfo or wait for us to inform
  you about progress.
