Breakout discussions: Prioritization of features for DSpace 7.1

Leaders will break into 4-5 randomly assigned groups to further discuss the prioritization of features for DSpace 7.1. We will take 25 minutes for breakout discussions and then return for 15 minutes to report out and discuss with the whole group.

Guide for breakout discussions:

• If needed, conduct a brief round of introductions. Record group members in the notes document.
• Identify reporter to report highlights of the discussion out to the larger group.
• Questions for discussion:
  • What criteria did you use for voting and ranking features?
  • Which results surprised you? Are there features you would argue should be higher (or lower) on the list?
  • What else should Steering and the DSpace 7 Working Group consider when prioritizing features for development in DSpace 7.1 not reflected in these results? (E.g. Can you identify dependencies for high-priority features that should be considered?)

You can take notes in a Google doc that matches your Breakout Room number, linked to here:

• Breakout #1 notes
• Breakout #2 notes
• Breakout #3 notes
• Breakout #4 notes
