#### Please visit our website at http://orchardproject.net for the most current information about this project.
Orchard is a free, open source, community-focused project aimed at delivering applications and reusable components
on the ASP.NET platform. It will create shared components for building ASP.NET applications and extensions, and
specific applications that leverage these components to meet the needs of end-users, scripters, and developers.
Additionally, we seek to create partnerships with existing application authors to help them achieve their goals.
Orchard is delivered under the [.NET Foundation](http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/). It is licensed under a
[New BSD license](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php), which is approved by the OSI. The intended
output of the Orchard project is three-fold:
Orchard is a free, open source, community-focused **Content Management System** built on the ASP.NET MVC platform.
* Individual .NET-based applications that appeal to end-users, scripters, and developers
* A set of re-usable components that makes it easy to build such applications
* A vibrant community to help define these applications and extensions
In the near term, the Orchard project is focused on delivering a .NET-based CMS application that will allow users
to rapidly create content-driven Websites, and an extensibility framework that will allow developers and customizers to provide additional functionality through modules and themes. You can learn more about the project on the [Orchard Project Website](http://www.orchardproject.net).
Orchard is built on a modern architecture that puts extensibility up-front, as its number one concern. All components in Orchard can be replaced or extended. Content is built from easily composable building blocks. Modules extend the system in a very decoupled fashion, where a commenting module for example can as easily apply to pages, blog posts, photos or products. A rich UI composition system completes the picture and ensures that you can get the exact presentation that you need for your content.
Orchard is delivered under the [.NET Foundation](http://www.dotnetfoundation.org/orchard). It is licensed under a [New BSD license](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php), which is approved by the OSI.
Our mission is to empower our users and foster a dedicated and diverse community that builds the CMS that we all want to use.

## Project Status
Orchard is currently in version 1.8.1. We invite participation by the developer community in shaping the project’s direction, so that we can publicly validate our designs and development approach.
