Thanks Jade. I think I saw this one mentioned somewhere a month or so
ago but I couldn't find it when I was searching for options.

You could check out Open Collection too:

My Digital Libraries class at UT chose it (over Greenstone, DSpace, and Fedora)
to create a digital collection last semester. It is newer but they are
actively developing it, fixing bugs, etc.

I just learned about Alfresco yesterday:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Main_Page was this one that you decided
against - or is it new to you?

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

[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.
