Major benefits of DSpace 7

In April-May 2021, all DSpace Steering & Leadership members were surveyed on the features not yet implemented in 7.0. They were asked to rank those features on behalf of their institution(s) they represent. In June 2021, a subset of those members compiled the results into 5 "tiers", based on the results of that survey. These "tiers" provide the priority of every outstanding feature, and map to a rough plan for at least five 7.x releases. Features are also ranked within a "tier" based on their number (with #1 being the highest priority within that tier). |

The 7.1 release will concentrate on features listed below in "Tier 1: Highest Priority". As many Tier 1 features will be released in 7.1 as possible given the public release date of November 1, 2021. The latest status of each feature may be found by clicking on its ticket, or browsing our 7.1 Development Board. Volunteer development may impact the order in which features are completed. To encourage volunteers to contribute code to DSpace 7.1, volunteer developers are welcome to contribute any feature (listed below or prior approved) to the 7.1 release. These volunteer-contributed features will be included in the 7.1 release, provided they are contributed before the 7.1 Pull Request deadline (tentatively Sept 23) and pass code reviews. Please get in touch with Tim Donohue or add a comment to an existing issue ticket if you wish to volunteer to implement one of the features listed below The DSpace 7 Working Group will be formalizing these rough tiers into a Roadmap for each 7.x release. Keep in mind, some features may be moved around slightly in the final Roadmap (e.g. in some scenarios it may make sense to build related features together). Additionally, some 7.x releases may include bug fixes, code cleanup/refactors or features not yet listed below. However, we'll strive to get these features implemented in priority order. The goal is to spread this work over several releases (likely at least 5, i.e. 7.1 → 7.5), in order to get higher priority features out as quickly as possible. The release timeline is TBD, but it may be similar to the "Staged Beta Release" process (see above), where we released 5 Betas in a little over a year (averaging a new release every few months). |
