Collaborations: Fez

Fez is an open source repository software application built around constructs known as “Communities” and “Collections” using Fedora open source platform. 

Fez provides a PHP / MySQL front end to the Fedora repository software. It is developed by the University of Queensland Library as an open source project hosted on SourceForge. There are mailing lists, forums and download links on the SourceForge site.

NCore uses Fez as the basis for the NSDL On Ramp Content and Communications system and has developed the On Fire distribution system as an extension to Fez.
