DSpace 7 Update The DSpace Steering Group has been discussing whether to potentially expand the scope of DSpace 7 to include more new features such as support for storing things like Authors (to create Author Profile pages, like Bepress, etc), and some other objects that tend to be more CRIS-oriented.These ongoing discussions may mean that DSpace 7 is not *just* a new UI on existing features–what we have been focusing on for "What's in DSpace 7". The Steering Group has another meeting scheduled to discuss further and work towards making a decision–not sure when this decision will be made. We might want to hold off on publishing "What's in DSpace 7" until this discussion completes --- we can still finalize the document, but may want to just hold it until entities work is finalized. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18brPF7cZy_UKyj97Ta44UJg5Z8OwJGi7PLoPJVz-g3g/edit#gid=0 | Tim | update and demo at OR; small team, browse and search, SG discussiong entities, researcher profiles, groups, grants and funder info–want to move this forward into the DSpce 7 release, funding and/or developers to bulid out the prototype.

Discussion–2017 DSpace Annual Report The Fedora Project Leadership Group recently published the Fedora 2017 Annual Report. A PDF of the report can be downloaded from the Fedora wiki. Would a similar report be of interest to the DSpace community and if so could this group facilitate development of a manuscript? | Carol Minton Morris | Too late, plan the next one; define a structure; some things to report; important to have this; need to work with others–not totally responsible; define structure, metrics, info about types of DSpace instances; can do it but not alone Collective effort–steerers, DCAT, do not agree that it is too late, shoot for May in 2019 Tim likes the idea, one or two people need to own this Tim–list on the wiki Strategic Planning User groups, service providers |
