Hello, my feeling is that solutions can easily be too big and powerful. See how many really large institutions rely on DSpace.
If one day you feel that you have grown out of DSpace and you have longterm workforce available to learn to develop on a platform like Fedora, then migration from DSpace to Fedora will be one of your smallest concerns. However going the steep way and starting with Fedora when you dont have implemented any such solution until now is prone to bad experience for all people involved. How will they trust you and take a second attempt together with you to switch back to DSpace? Really, introducing a critical electronic platform in an institution is not so much about technology, it is about understanding peoples requirements. Does this sound like trite wisdom? It doesnt make it be less true.
