Talk:Fedora (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] UVA

There is no need to tie this article so heavily to UVA, although the software is used there, and was heavily developed there, Fedora is a collaborative effort among several universities, not just UVA.

I have submitted a new version of the article on the Fedora project that I hope will be less problematic. As a participant in Fedora implementation at the University of Virginia Library I used language in the previous version of the article from the Fedora site that all participants have been using to describe the project.

While the Encyclopedia of Chicago was assembled using Fedora, all pages were extracted from the repository and it is now delivered as a static web site. My understanding is that Fedora does not handle the actual delivery of the site's content. Perhaps an explanation should be included in the article?

[edit] Rename to Fedora Commons ?

Which name should be the article's title ? The article's body uses "Fedora" and "FEDORA" while the official website http://www.fedora-commons.org uses "FedoraCommons" for its splash image, "Fedora Commons" for its web page title and SourceForge project name, "Fedora" in the documentation and when associated with a version number, "fedora-commons" in the URL and SourceForge project identifier. The older website uses "fedora", "FEDORA" and "Fedora Project". Since "Fedora Commons" seems to be the most used name for recent information, including http://www.fedora-commons.org/about, I will rename the article to "Fedora Commons" if no objection is raised.
