In that cast there's no direct control over the version so it will be useful to pay attention to whether or when the host has upgraded. The newest version reportedly has much greater security controls but I haven't played with it yet to know how easy (or not) it may be. We have a tiny pilot project that has been graciously hosted by the Odum Institute and they have not yet upgraded to the new version.

If so, we'd like to know about your experience. We are interesting in learning all we can about Dataverse software and have questions such as was using the software easy or difficult, what problems you encountered, the amount of time and staffing needed, any costs etc.
