This initiative is actually an extension of the DSpace 2.0 investigation work that took place in 2009. The goal of the DSpace 2 work was primarily to modularize DSpace, and Fedora as one of those modules just makes sense. The DSpace 2 work, along with recent Google Summer of Code projects (in 2008 and 2009), have helped us to more closely realize how DSpace and Fedora could be integrated.
