Info
titleRanking of outstanding features into "Tiers"

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).


Note
titleRoadMap for 7.4 5 (due to be released in October 2022February 2023)

The 7.4 5 release will concentrate on include new features & additional maintenance tasks (bug fixes, usability fixes, etc) to help ensure that sites planning upgrades to 7.x have an excellent experience. We will also attempt to include features which just missed the 7.3 release (listed below as "In development"), along with any features donated by community members. Donated features must be submitted based on the following deadlines to be included in 7.4 5 (otherwise, they will be rescheduled for 7.56):

  • By August December 1, institutions wishing to donate features should "announce" their intentions by either creating a GitHub issue ticket for the donated feature, or commenting on an existing ticket asking to claim it for 7.4.  Tim Donohue and the DSpace 7 Working Group will discuss suggested donated features & provide advice and/or suggestions based on available reviewer resources.  Very large or complex feature may be delayed for 7.5, though development can begin immediately as necessary.  If any feature is very large or complex it will require feedback from Tim Donohue and the DSpace 7 Working Group , before it can be scheduled for a specific release.
  • By December 23By August 26, any donated features must have Pull Request(s) containing suggested code changes corresponding to the feature.  These PR(s) will then be assigned to reviewers to provide feedback on code, etc.
  • During SeptemberJanuary, the DSpace 7 Working Group will review/approve donated PRs.  Members of this team may provide feedback or requests for changes to the PR(s).  We ask that you be responsive, as all PRs must be merged before the end of September by February 10 – any not merged will be delayed for 7.5.immediately rescheduled for the next release.

Please get in touch with Tim Donohue if you have any questions about donating features back to this release.
