WHO: You! Everyone is invited to take part. Whether you manage multiple instances, or are interested in trying it out, we welcome your feedback.
WHAT: Help beta-test DSpace 7.0 to ensure that it passes its ultimate test: that it does what users expect it to. We've added new features that could use more eyes, browsers, and mouse-clicks to make sure that things aren't missing, that they don't break, that they don't lose your data, and that they easily do what one expects them to do. So if any features have issues while your testing it.
...
WHY: The sooner we find and fix bugs, the higher quality the software will be when it comes time to upgrade or install DSpace 7.0.
HOW: Go to httphttps://demodemo7.dspace.org and test-drive the new user interface. We're looking for feedback on the DSpace software, as well as feedback on our unreleased 7.0 documentation.
