Islandora CLAW is the project name for development of Islandora to work with Fedora 4. The current release of Islandora, known as 7.x-1.x, works as a bridge between Drupal 7.x and Fedora 3.

* Installations tools (Ansible, Docker, Vagrant) can automate uniting the pieces in a simple, clean installation process.
