In February the JHOVE format validation tool was transferred to OPF stewardship. We have now completed our initial review of JHOVE, and have identified all of the resources that we will maintain or preserve.

The report is available on our new JHOVE product page, along with an overview of current activity and links to the source code, documentation and downloads which have been transferred to our GitHub repository.

The main objective of our work to date has been to establish a firm foundation for future changes based on agile software development best practises.

A further technical evaluation will be published in April that will also outline options for possible future development and maintenance tasks.
