Added by Matt Jones over 20 years ago

Adjusted the text on the NCEAS repository page. Changed the project list

entry. This was doen because the long titles were far too long to display
decently in the list (the box scrolled way off the right of the page).

Welcome to the NCEAS Data Repository. This repository contains information

about the research data sets collected and collated within or under the 
50
auspices of NCEAS' funded activities.  Some of the data are synthetic
51
data sources that originated from the efforts of many contributors, while
52
others might have originated from a single investigator.  Credit for the
53
datasets in this repository goes to the investigators who collected the data,
54
and also to the NCEAS working groups and scientists who compiled the data
55
for synthetic purposes. See each data package for a list of the people and
