Introduction
This wiki page attempts to provide a simple quick check list, to use when considering the possible deployment of a repository system.

This quick check list is open systems based and does not only introduce the repository software but also the system, including preparedness for disaster recovery and long term repository preservation.

The ultimate goal is to provide a high performance trusted system, that is sustainable in the long term, using open published standards and software.
