Will I also need to learn how to install/upgrade Fedora in order to install/upgrade DSpace?
At this time, we don't know the complete answer.
In the early stages, you may need to perform some basic steps to install or upgrade Fedora (how many steps?) whenever you install or upgrade DSpace. We anticipate that in the future we will be able to simplify this process. The final goal is to be able to install DSpace with "Fedora Inside" without too much effort (i.e. hopefully less than or equal to the effort required to install DSpace 1.6).
Will my current DSpace User Interface / Add-On customizations still work?
We currently don't know. We hope that basic user interface customizations (CSS / Javascript / etc) will work immediately. However, any customizations to the internal API or complex Addadd-ons will likely need to be rebuilt or refactored. As we move closer towards figuring out the internal API changes required for this integration, we will be able to better answer this question. We also hope to be able to which APIs will change, so that you can more easily determine whether your add-ons will need to be changed.
What happened to the DSpace 2.0 work? Is this replacing it?
