From NSDLWiki
OnFire is an extension to Fez. OnFire is being developed in support of the OnRamp project for NSDL. Fez is a project under continuing development at University of Queensland Library.
OnFire facilitates the distribution of record content to destinations. Destinations are generated results based on distributed content from one or more records combined into a result that can be in various formats including, but not limited to, text, html, and rss feeds. Destination results are accessed through a URL.

Examples and Demos in Use
-
 Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears eZine - Twenty thematic issues of an online magazine which include standards-based science and content-rich literacy learning on the polar regions. OnRamp is used to store the text and images seen on the website. Content is distributed to an agnostic webapp through the OnFire extension.
-
 White Board Report - Monthly issues delivering research news and notes from the National Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Education Digital Library (NSDL) Program. The content of each item in the report is stored in records in OnRamp. An RSS feed summarizing each item in an issue is generated by the OnFire extension and used by NSDL.org to display the report.
-
 NCore website - The main website for NCore is generated based on information and images stored in OnRamp. An RSS feed generated by the OnFire extension drives the webapp's structure and content.
