  Description     : an online information archiving system

 GNU EPrints is an online archiving system which can store documents in
 any format as well as metadata related to the stored documents.
 .
 Documents are submitted through a Web-based interface, either as files,
 as a compressed bundled file or automatically mirrored from another site
 by specifying a URL. Users can view and search the archive through a
 configurable, extendable subject hierarchy .

Some more technical details: it's a set of Perl scripts designed to run 
with Apache and mod_perl using a MySQL database.

As I'm not a Debian developer, any developer interested in sponsoring this 
package is welcome (note however than I do not expect to have this package 
ready before Jan-Feb).
