Dear Francisco

When you refer to Fedora do you mean the Red Hat Linux OS or the Fedora
Commons repository system?

In brief, there are lots of ways to do it. In my experience it is not
particularly difficult to create EPrints XML for any batch of documents
and import them into EPrints. The devil, as ever, is in the detail.
