You can report bugs and suggest enhancements through the SourceForge system. Bugs will be fixed as soon as possible, within the limits of the DSpace team?'s technical support resources. The team considers all enhancements, and if an enhancement is accepted, adds it to the enhancement list for development as time and resources allow. Of course, any users working with the open-source code are welcome to fix a bug or make an improvement to the system. See our DSpace Community Development Guidelines to learn how.
