What's Erlware

At our core we host public repositories containing reliable Erlang OTP-compliant packages. These packages are ready to download and install for end user purposes or for using as development dependencies. Erlware is Erlang/OTP developer central. We are open source and mostly MIT-licenced. Essentially Our repositories enable users to use software written by the Erlang community and to publish and distribute their own software for use by others.
