Fedora Repository
This project is the traditional Fedora distribution which includes the Fedora Repository service and several closely related components and libraries. This software has proven to be an attractive open-source option for organizations building service-oriented platforms for scholarly communication, e-research, advanced digital libraries, and more. From the Web perspective, the Fedora repository service has been shown to be an effective underpinning for Web applications (including traditional Web applications, Web 2.0 style applications, and increasing Semantic Web style applications). Over time this project will be divided into smaller projects to improve integration options, simplify feature development and facilitate management flexibility. The Fedora Repository service is a core component of future Fedora Commons' software development. The new Fedora 3.0 is currently in Beta release with production scheduled for April 2008. The current production release is Version 2.2.1. Fedora 2 will be maintained at least through January 2009 since there are a considerable number of organizations that use Fedora 2 as the basis for their production systems. There are no new features planned for Fedora 2 and development will be confined to defect repairs.
