• Improving performance / scalability in general
  •  e.g. high High CPU usage for server-side rendering, https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3110
  • Unable to route network requests to different REST URL during server-side rendering (public vs private REST requests): https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/1485
  • Serve REST configuration more efficiently: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9056
  • User permissions should be obtained in fewer REST requests: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3161
  • Submission Form should be loaded using fewer REST requests: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3162
  • Search Results should be loaded using fewer REST requests: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3163
• Enabling Configurable Entities (by default)
  • What do we need to achieve to enable Entities by default?
  • How can entities be made more usable?
  • Improving scalability/performance/functionality of Relationships
  • Nested/hierarchical metadata  (e.g. dates on a Person's affiliation with an OrgUnit)
  Shall we automatically change metadata in flyway migrations? 
  • EntitiesIf entities are enabled by default how could a migration look like? Shall we offer a script to add a field dspace.entity.type="Publication" to all items without an entity type? 
• Easier Installation and Upgrades
  • Discussions around simplifying installation process: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/3184
  • Use "npm" instead of "yarn" for frontend installation: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/3173
  • Can we simplify the installation/upgrade process of DSpace, especially now that there's a frontend & backend to manage?
• Modularization
  • Angular : library-based architecture proposal - As of 8.0, we've already migrated to "standalone components". We can now consider whether to potentially migrate to using Nx.
• Bitstream persistence URLs - As of DSpace 7, there are no persistent URLs for bitstreams. The URL is based on UUID, and if you replace or version a bitstream the URL will change: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9083
• Replace Submission Form library (as the one we use is unmaintained): https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2216
• Permissions
  • Possibility of granting granular permission to individuals and groups to edit / see only some metadata
• Shall we automatically change metadata in flyway migrations?
  •  DOIs
    • Changing the field a DOI is using (dc.identifier.uri vs. dc.identifier.doi)
    • Changing the resolver (https://doi.org vs. http://dx.doi.org)
  Angular : library-based architecture proposal - As of 8.0, we've already migrated to "standalone components". We can now consider whether to potentially migrate to using Nx
• All collections should have a workflow – a default noninteractive workflow would facilitate applying curation tasks (such as virus scanning) to all submissions:  https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/8820
• Enhanced Statistics for DSpace (volunteer: Paulo Graça )
  • Paulo volunteered to perhaps start an interest group / working group around Statistics enhancements as his organization is interested in enhancing this for DSpace.

Priorities for 9.0

To be decided.  9.0 is still in very early planning phase. Priorities have not yet been established.
