(openaccess.eprints.org): Deposit mandates are necessary in order to generate OA content. It makes a big practical difference for success in reaching agreement on adopting a mandate in the first place that both institutional and funder mandates should require convergent institutional deposit, rather than divergent and competing institutional vs. institution-external deposit. The RWWR repository rankings would be much more helpful and informative if they gave a greater weight to the relative size of each institutional repository's content and eliminated multi-institutional repositories from the institutional repository rankings or at least allowed institutional repositories to be ranked independently on content vs links.
