MOAI 2.0 pre-release

The MOAI 2.0 code has been updated (by Jasper Op de Coul). The new code is checked into the Mercurial repository at https://hg.infrae.com/moai.

There's a new README.txt which is still preliminary, but it'll help people get the software up and running.

In general the 2.0 codebase is much smaller and cleaner then the MOAI 1.x code that most users are running. It is fully WSGI based and very simple to configure.

What is the MOAI Server?

MOAI is an open access server platform for institutional repositories. The server aggregates content from disparate sources, transforms it, stores it in a database, and (re)publishes the content, in one or many OAI feeds. Each feed has its own configuration.

The server has a flexible system for combining records into sets and uses these sets in the feed configuration. MOAI also comes with a simple yet flexible authentication scheme that can easily be customized. Besides providing authentication for the feeds, the authentication also controls access to the assets.

MOAI is a standalone system that can be used in combination with any repository software that comes with an OAI feed such as Fedora Commons, EPrints or DSpace. It can also be used directly with an SQL database or just a folder of XML files.
