Wish List for DSpace 4.0 (tentative)

Note

The list of features below is entirely speculative.  Features are not deemed finalized until the code is in-hand and accepted.

If you are a developer and you'd like to contribute to DSpace 4.0, you can do so by doing the following:

  1. Submit a JIRA ticket describing your contribution, and mark it as being for "4.0"  (this will cause it to auto-appear in the listing below)
  2. As early as possible, share your code via a GitHub Pull Request (or link to it if it's available publicly elsewhere).  Add a link to it in your JIRA ticket.  See Development with Git for more info.
  3. If it's a larger contribution, please provide some documentation (you are welcome to create a new page in this DSpace Wiki), so that we can understand how to use it and configure it.

The earlier you make your contribution known, the more likely it is that it will be accepted into 4.0.  The later you share your code / ideas, the more likely it is that we'll need to reschedule it for a later release.  Usually we need to have the contribution in-hand (or at least be well aware of what it involves) before Summer to ensure it won't conflict with other contributions and can get a thorough review.

Please feel free to list features / contributions you plan to develop for 4.0.  You can also add a JIRA ticket and mark it for "4.0" which will put it on the automated list below (see "Possible JIRA tickets to resolve")

Excerpt
DSpace 4.0 ships with a number of new features. Certain features are automatically enabled by default while others require deliberate activation.
