titleRoadMap for 7.3 (due to be released on in June TBD, 2022)

The 7.3 release will continue to concentrate on features listed below in "Tier 1: Highest Priority" and "Tier 2: Medium-High Priority". The latest status of each feature may be found by clicking on its ticket, or browsing our 7.3 Development Board.

Volunteer development may impact the order in which features are completed. To encourage volunteers to contribute code to DSpace 7.3, volunteer developers are welcome to contribute any feature (listed in any tier below or prior approved) to the 7.3 release. These donated features will be included in the 7.3 release, provided they are contributed before the 7.3 Pull Request deadline (around one month prior to release) 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.
