It's a newly released platform for building personal RPM repositories.
Somewhat analogous to Ubuntu's PPAs.

Interesting.
We need to think and see how (and if) to integrate it with the desktop
fedora experience. I wouldn't want gnome-software searching in all of
these automatically.
Unless we get COPRs with proper metadata (an archive of all the
appdata files they contain, perhaps) and meaningful description, I
can't see a way for us to implement a good enough UI to browse and
enable those from within the desktop environment.
Another thing to consider wehn considering the experience when searching
and downloading from COPRs is that they also may contain applications
that are already in fedora, (just newer builds).
I am currently using COPR to produce builds of inkscape, gimp and
corebird from the upstream master branches --
