Contribute to the DSpace Development Fund
The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.
To Give DSpace Developers opportunities to work on the trunk without restrictions that everything going into it be completely perfected gives the developer community and the codebase opportunities to evolve. We recognize that sometime disturbance and breakage has a stimulating effect on developer participation. Therefor it is proposed that the DSpace Guidelines for Committing to trunk allow for period of instability and stability with clear deadlines as to allow for the introduction and testing of new features which have been decided to be included into the next release by the community.
This proposal originally arose out of the Google Summer of Code project with the need to actually have GSoC students help with the code merge of their projects into Trunk. But, as students are not "Committers", they currently are limited in receiving rights to Trunk (under our current 'policies'). It is recommended that we hold a Special Topic meeting next week, and try and determine what to do in this scenario. Obviously, this proposal then leads to other questions of
how we may view committer rights.
