  • Moving towards finalizing a Timeline for 1.8.0
    • Over past few weeks (and amongst Committers privately), a few 1.8 Timeframe options have been discussed:
      1. Release 1.8.0 in either Sept or Oct 2011 - See Sample Timeframes in 1.8.0 Release Notes
      2. Release 1.8.0 "with enough time to generate reports/presentations" for Open Repositories. The exact details of this proposal are still a bit unclear to me, and need clarification. But I suspect this would mean a 1.8.0 release in Dec 2011 or early 2012 (i.e. before deadlines for OR12 submissions start to occur).
  • Beginning to Brainstorm potential features for 1.8.0 release:
    • More Curation Tools/Plugins? (Obviously, some could potentially even be release asynchronously, and also formally "bundled" with 1.8.0)
    • REST API formal release? It missed 1.7.0, but there seemed to be interest there. Volunteer(s) to stabilize/improve for 1.8.0?
    • DSpace "Easy" Installer? (see DS-802 for very early thoughts – code coming soon)
    • Other ideas, things people are already working on / towards?
