Hydra Developer Wiki

The projecthydra gem is a container gem which locks major version dependencies for a complete release of the hydra framework. Requiring this gem or including it in your Gemfile will load or install a coherent set of hydra gems developed and tested for interoperability. Developers requiring the most current functionality may choose to omit this gem and build their gem dependencies manually.

This wiki is targeted towards developers who are implementing Hydra Heads. The Duraspace wiki has information discussing the Hydra architecture. There's also information for new and potential adopters on the project web site.
