In order to decrease delays in releasing new features and increase transparency, the DSpace Developers have scheduled 3.0 in advance and are basing its features on what we are able to complete within that timeframe. Scheduling releases benefits us all as it should decrease the delays in releasing new features, and increase the transparency of the development process. The DSpace Developers feel that these benefits will far outweigh the cost of potentially having fewer major features in a given DSpace release. We hope the DSpace Community will also realize the immediate benefits, which should allow them to receive new features more quickly, rather than potentially waiting years for the next major release of the software. The DSpace Developers hope to continue this trend of "time based" releases with all future releases. Want to contribute to this release of DSpace?

Why 3.0? What happened to 2.0?
In 2011, after much discussion, the DSpace Committers in conjunction with members of the DSpace Community Advistory Team (DCAT) decided to forgo releasing a "DSpace 2.0".
...
Many of the ideas/concepts of "DSpace 2.0" may still be coming to the DSpace platform. But, they will continue to be added incrementally over several releases. The ideas behind "2.0" still live on, even while the release numbering has changed.

3.0 Decisions To Be Documented:
- Where should translations of individual modules like Discovery go? Including them in the main messages.xml currently works. This should be answered before freeze time, it already poses another barrier for commiting of translations, see DS-1049, DS-1054. This is a subproblem of i18n Improvements Proposal, but let us not divert this discussion too much to broad topics. ~~helix84
Wiki Markup ANSWER: In mtg on July 25, we decided the best we likely can do for 3.0 is to suggest that translations of individual modules should just be added to the central messages.xml/messages.properties files. For the full discussion see: [http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2012-07-25] (starts: \[20:57\])
- Does 3.0 Work with Java 7?
Wiki Markup ANSWER: Yes, it seems to work with *both* Oracle JDK 7 and OpenJDK 7. We should test & document it works for both. For full discussion see: [http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2012-07-25] (starts: \[20:13\])
