    Email from Tim Donohue on Roadmap:

    All,

    I wanted to send out a brief report of the DSpace RoadMap as discussed
    at Open Repositories 2010.  There are two main topics to touch on which
    may be of interest to everyone:

    1. Upcoming DSpace 1.7 release
    2. "DSpace with Fedora Inside" proposal

    == DSpace 1.7 - December 2010 ==

    The DSpace developers are hard at work planning out the next major
    release (1.7.0) of DSpace Software.  As announced previously, DSpace 1.7
    is scheduled for release in December 2010.  The developers met in person
    before OR10 to discuss what features should be ready for release in 1.7.

    An early list of possible features can now be found on the 1.7.0 Release
    Notes page.  This list of features is still subject to change, and it's
    very likely that new features will be added to the list in the coming
    weeks/months:

    https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Release+1.7.0+Notes

    Also, if you are interested in reading through the meeting notes from
    our DSpace Developer meeting before OR10, those are posted publicly on
    the wiki at:

    https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DevMtg+2010-07-05+-+OR10+Meeting

    == "DSpace with Fedora Inside" proposal ==

    If you haven't already heard, at OR10, DuraSpace recommended that the
    DSpace and Fedora communities investigate strategies to allow DSpace
    software to run "on top of" the Fedora platform.  This idea is generally
    being called "DSpace with Fedora Inside".

    Much more detail on this recommendation can be found at:

    * The proposal: http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/duraspace/2010/07/08/duraspace-recommends-dspace-fedora-integration-initiative/

    * An FAQ around the initiative: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace-Fedora+Integration+FAQ

    * There are also some higher level details in my OR10 DSpace RoadMap
    talk: http://www.slideshare.net/tdonohue/dspace-roadmap-20102011

    DuraSpace is seeking feedback on this recommendation, and is also
    looking for any interested volunteers. DuraSpace does not have the
    technical staff to do this work alone, nor would we want to. As with any
    open source development initiative, the commitment and support of the
    broader community will build a better 'end product', than if one
    institution were to implement it on their own. We are currently looking
    for volunteers to help make this initiative happen.

    It's also worth noting that we do not want this initiative to hinder the
    current DSpace development process.  DSpace software will continue to
    improve and add new features as this initiative progresses.  We fully
    expect there to be several releases of DSpace software before we would
    be able to release a DSpace with "Fedora Inside".

    If you have thoughts on this recommendation, feel free to share them
    publicly on any DSpace listserv (or add comments to the wiki), or
    privately by emailing myself (tdonohue@duraspace.org) or Valorie
    Hollister (vhollister@duraspace.org).

    Thanks!

    - Tim
