Suggesting new / missing features for our Tier list

If you discover a 6.x feature we overlooked in our Tier listing above, or if you wish to suggest an improvement or feature, we recommend following this process:

  • First, check to see if your suggestion already exists in a ticket.  Search our frontend tickets and our backend tickets for anything similar.
    • If you find a ticket matching your suggestion, add a comment to it, letting us know why this feature is of interest to you / your institution.  The more comments a ticket receives, the higher priority it will get.
  • If there is not matching ticket, create one!  If you aren't sure if the ticket should be a frontend or backend ticket, just create it as a frontend ticket (we can always move it later if we feel we need to)
  • Once your ticket is created, we'll analyze it, label it & prioritize it.  Keep in mind, tickets may not be prioritized immediately, or may start out as a lower priority (but if others add comments to it, that usually results in us bumping up the priority).

Try out DSpace 7

Try out DSpace 7 has instructions for installing DSpace 7 locally, or via Docker.  Keep in mind, DSpace 7 is not yet "production ready" until 7.0 is released.
