Note

(April 2020) The development team will be running a planning sprint for the remainder of April.  The goal of this planning sprint is to reanalyze the below schedule for accuracy based on the accomplishments of the first two beta releases.

(January 2020) All of the below release schedule/timelines should be considered tentative goals. This scheduling assumes a consistent developer contribution of 4FTE from the period of January - June 2020.  While we are working closely with the DSpace Steering Group and DSpace Leadership Group to ensure this consistent level of effort, it is highly dependent on ongoing fundraising to alleviate our reliance on volunteer-based development resources.  Therefore, the below timeline goals may change within the coming months.
