This project needs a heavy redesign of the landing homepage and it should change the language not to confuse the developers.<p>Hyrax is a frontend of Hydra with CMS and social features. It's a merger of <a href="https://github.com/projecthydra/sufia" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/projecthydra/sufia</a> and <a href="https://github.com/projecthydra/curation_concerns" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/projecthydra/curation_concerns</a><p>Hydra is a web applications framework based on the digital asset management repository (Fedora) and the search index (Solr).

Nothing here is what I expected:<p>- a "repository solution" is not a thing for source control like Github. It's a CMS or a file sharing system or something.<p>- "Fedora" is not a Linux distribution. It's a previous repository solution software.<p>- this homepage causes more questions than it answers. No screenshots. No examples.
Sounds like vaporware to me, also they didn't do too much research about their name, because this is the hyrax I deal with day to day: <a href="http://docs.opendap.org/index.php/Hyrax" rel="nofollow">http://docs.opendap.org/index.php/Hyrax</a>
