      • Genny and Pierre not on today's call, Kimberly will follow up with them about these 2 requests

      • UX (User Experience)
        • will hopefully hear more about these reports in February
      • Task-Oriented Documentation
        • Sprint next week
        • Pricilla and Laura have done a lot of work organizing for this working group
        • Planning to provide contextual information regarding why an IR manager may want/need to perform particular tasks
      • Introduction to DSpace (on hold)
      • Advanced Configurations (Contact Pierre or Kimberly if you want to join this group - need more people)
      • Feature Requests (on hold - information coming soon.
      • Community agreement/code of conduct for DCAT: Kimberly's hoping to set up a working group to work on this in 2025. She noted that there aren't currently any set norms for DCAT and the monthly calls.
    • Theme for 2024-2025
      • DCAT will propose a theme for 2024-2025; 2023-2024 theme was "Community Engagement"
      • "Community Input" or "Documentation" or "Robust DSpace"?
      • "Accessibility"? (from a U.S. perspective, changes to Title II in new year, though Kimberly noted that no DCAT efforts are currently focused on accessibility–perhaps this would be a good idea for 2025-2026 theme)
      • Kimberly will send out request on the DCAT listserv too, since it's a smaller group in today's meeting
    • DSpace 9 Testathon Dates: (tentative) April 7-18; Kimberly will ask about holding the testathon slightly earlier in April to avoid both Ramadan and Good Friday holidays
    • DSpace Learning:
      • What do you need help with? Google Doc
      • Lack of documentation, or opaque technical documentation, for tasks and options available in DSpace 7.x going forward (such as curation tasks and other tasks now available in the web-based interface that were previously only available to IT and developer staff)
      • examples mentioned during call: workflows; format registry (managing and adding, as well as dos and don'ts); creating and managing groups; curation tasks; processes (specifically from the processes tab); importing data from other services/sources
      • Possibly host some lunch-and-learns on some of these topics; also have some conversations with developers to understand some of these tasks better and write more user-focused documentation
