We've long had Fedora Extras, but yesterday Extras Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) officially opened for yum-ing. This is an Extras RPM package repository for enterprise distributions based upon Fedora, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS. EPEL is community maintained by Fedora Project members and currently there are around 1,000 packages. The official EPEL announcement is available from the fedora-announce-list.
