Lesson: Introduction to OnRamp

OnRamp is a content management and distribution system that facilitates re-use of content in multiple contexts. Fez Software, an open source institutional respository developed at the University of Queensland, along with a few enhancements serves as the content management system. OnFire is an NCore project that extends Fez to add a distribution system for the content stored in OnRamp. Together Fez and OnFire make up the OnRamp system.
