While we have submerged ourselves into the d:swarm development our friends from Dortmund University Library released the first extension for d:swarm: https://github.com/hagbeck/task-processing-unit-for-dswarm. We are delighted by this contribution, especially as it came as a surprise. Many thanks to Hans-Georg Becker and his team!

Version 0.9 – a simple solution to be used in the production environment @SLUB Dresden will be released in June 2015. Stay tuned!
