Hello all, I've been investigating possible solutions for the beginnings of a repository of electronic documents [1]. At this point, we have no budget, so I am only looking at Open Source options. I've identified a number of options that may meet our needs that are either advertised as institutional repository software or digital library software. Basically what I am wonder is am I missing some OSS programs that in these categories that might work for us. Software that I have identified so far that looks promising are: DSpace: http://www.dspace.org/ Fedora: http://www.fedora-commons.org/ E-prints: http://www.eprints.org/ Greenstone: www.*greenstone*.org/ Kete: http://kete.net.nz/ Rescarta: http://www.rescarta.org/ I have identified some others, but rejected them because they were either experimental or appear not to be in current development. At this point we haven't really narrowed down our focus, so almost any digital library or institutional repository program would be under consideration, providing it is 1) somewhat fully developed (again, no budget), 2) somewhat easy to use and install, 3) has some level of user base, and 4) is actively being maintained. Does anyone have any suggestions for other software to investigate Edward [1] I'm not going to call this an institutional repository, because what I am envision is more of a hybrid of a digital library and institutional repository. I'd be less vague, but I only have a vague idea of what we want.
