Drupal-based TRAC Review site Update on January 27,2014: Artefactual has posted the current version of the Drupal-based TRAC Review site on their website[1]. These additions have been made:

• Added an auditor role with a separate login and comment field so organizations can incorporate an audit loop into their repository management workflow once they have completed a self-assessment ro produce a baseline of their evidence of conformance for an external peer or other auditor to review
• A natural language question field has been added so organizations can tailor questions to their environment to make the process easier for contributors
• Courtney Mumma will be sending her examples of natural language questions for TRAC requirements that Archivematica addresses. She developed the questions for the two audits she is completing
