Fedora could scale horizontally (sharded repositories, managed by a load -balancing, parallel processing capable main repo) | 4 |
Fedora would have a robust one-click install front end UI, "lite" interface that is separate from the core, but built by fedora for those who don't use or can't afford samvera, islandora, or a "fat client" local development effort | 4 |
Fedora would support high-latency (i.e. tape) storage, possibly through an S3 gateway, to enable large digital preservation use cases | 4 |
Fedora would be written to support/facilitate international adoption Multi-lingual support | 3 |
Fedora would support "side-loading" ingest mechanism for content moved directly into underlying storage (maybe someone will tell me this is already possible!) | 3 |
Make a Fedora admin UI; Fedora would provide easy access to usage and storage analytics/metrics via a dashboard and API | 3 |
Fedora would include standard deployment models for common environments, e.g. AWS, Kubernetes, etc. (maybe this is already true??) | 3 |
default behaviors/configurations that are easy to understand and adopt (while keeping the ability to configure pretty robustly for those who can dig in). Maybe a "performant" setting, a "preservation" setting, etc. | 2 |
Fedora would be tested/certified with a variety of cloud and on-premise underlying storage systems | 2 |
Relevant installation information gathering to meet privacy requirements globally | 2 |
The fedora application would be in a programming language that is more accessible to the library community. | 2 |
Fedora standards implementation remains flexible to local implementations - can opt in to LDP, or out, for example. Fedora would not be bound to the LDP (Linked Data Platform) specification | 1 |
Move to PREMIS 3 ontology | 1 |
Keep fedora current in terms of technology (I'm happy with the current feature set of Fedora) | 1 |
Fedora supports multitenant implementations | 0 |
Fedora could replace DSpace as a self-submit institutional repository system | 0 |
pre-built expression for indexing/harvesting (e.g. google) | 0 |
Fedora's admin UI meets WCAG standards | 0 |
redefine Fedora away from a piece of software, middleware | 0 |
Replace the WebAC access control (partial) specification with something...better | 0 |
Fedora embraces ethical source principles | 0 |
Apache mod_fedora plugin to integrate Apache seamlessly with Fedora | 0 |
Ability to (within the spirit of privacy, not just the law) centralize data that informs decision making (size, version, etc) | 0 |
"Dream #1" - Overarching theme: Fedora as an API
