Some software doesn’t conform to standards that allow easy packaging. Or it may not meet other Fedora standards, despite being free and open source. COPR can offer these projects outside the Fedora set of packages. Software in COPR isn’t supported by Fedora infrastructure or signed by the project. However, it can be a neat way to try new or experimental software.</p>
<p>This article presents a few new and interesting projects in COPR. If you’re new to using COPR, see the <a href="https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#">COPR User Documentation</a> for how to get started.</p>

<h3>Contrast</h3>
<p><a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/design/contrast">Contrast</a> is a small app used for checking contrast between two colors and to determine if it meets the requirements specified in <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/">WCAG</a>. The colors can be selected either using their RGB hex codes or with a color picker tool. In addition to showing the contrast ratio, Contrast displays a short text on a background in selected colors to demonstrate comparison.</p>
