Orchard Core

About Orchard Core

Orchard is an open source, community-driven development project. The platform is developed on the asp.net mvc framework. Its vision is to create shared components for building asp.net applications and extensions that leverage these components to meet the needs of end-users and developers.
Orchard content management system is delivered as part of the asp.net open source gallery under the .net foundation. IT is licensed under a new bsd license, which is approved by the open source initiative (osi).
Although orchard is under the stewardship of the .net foundation, the project is managed by the orchard steering committee, based on a published governance model. Steering committee members are elected by the community annually.
