  • dspace-commit : As a new committer, you will be added to the private 'dspace-commit' listserv. We try to only use this 'dspace-commit' list for administrative duties or official nominations/votes for committership, etc. Developer topics occasionally come up here as well, but once they begin to move beyond "administrative" we try to move them to 'dspace-devel' so the entire DSpace Developer Community has input.
  • dspace-changelog : If you are not already aware of it, we have a public 'dspace-changelog' email list which just reports recent commits to SVN. You should probably join that list, as it is your friend: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-changelog

The Tools We Use

Here's a current list of the tools/sites we use, and how they are used.

  • GitHub - The main codebase is now here
  • JIRA - Obviously this is where we log all bugs/tickets. It is also used to auto-generate the "History" page of our DSpace Documentation, e.g. 1.8 History page
  • DSpace Wiki - The public wiki space. A few areas to be aware of (if you are not already)
    • Committer Guidelines - Splash page for all our Committer Guidelines. We try to keep this as up-to-date as possible. But, if you have questions, please ask!
    • Release Procedure - In case you are interested, this is our procedure for cutting a new release.
  • DSpace Documentation - The official DSpace documentation is created in the wiki (and PDFs are generated from the wiki during releases). This is the splash page which lists all the existing DSpace Wiki Documentation.
  • SourceForge - These days, SourceForge is primarily used for two purposes: (1) it hosts all of our mailing lists, and (2) we post all releases up there for download.
  • demo.dspace.org - The demo installation of DSpace which is on a virtual server (Amazon EC2). This server is used to show off the latest version of DSpace, as well as to help test upcoming features during release Testathons.
    • Any Committers can request command-line access to this server (to start/stop the instance, upgrade it, etc) by sending your Public SSH Key to Tim.
  • www.dspace.org - Main website which is managed by DuraSpace. If you need something changed there, contact Tim or email sysadmin at duraspace.org
