Today, the Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched an important new feature: showing the full-text content (in addition to metadata) of all participating blogs on blog post pages. Rogue Scholar has always stored the full-text internally and made it available via the REST API, as the full-text is needed for archiving and full-text search.

The InvenioRDM project partners met in Hamburg two weeks ago, and we discussed a wide range of topics over five days. InvenioRDM is the open source repository platform that also powers the Rogue Scholar science blog archive, and one priority for me is to keep the repository platform's maintenance simple while adding the features I need.

Next week the InvenioRDM community will meet in Hamburg for five days to discuss the open source repository platform. Front Matter has been part of the InvenioRDM community since August 2021, and Rogue Scholar relaunched on the InvenioRDM platform in October 2024. The last workshop of the InvenioRDM partners took place in March 2024 in Münster, so this is the first meetup where I am running a production instance of InvenioRDM.
