DCAT Review
- New feature review process
- Goal: primary goal of the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) is to help review and facilitate community-wide discussions about new feature requests in JIRA and to provide support to the DSpace developer/committer group in producing software releases.
- What it is:
- group representing the community which make assessments about new feature requests in JIRA - the relative value and urgency for the broader community
- facilitate community wide discussions on the most useful and urgent new feature requests - the purpose of which is to validate DCAT assessment, flesh out req'mts, most importantly-->find stakeholder/developer resources
- possibly provide communication support (announcements, etc.) to developers/committers for software releases
- collaborate on other projects for the community - user group mtgs, networking, mailing list participation, e-forum, attend weekly developer/committer mtgs
- What it is not:
- a group that dictates work priorities for the developers/committers
- having discussions just to have discussions
- Process overview
- Future discussion schedule
- New issues - Anyone who does not have an issue selected, please come with your selection: DCAT JIRA New Features
- Update on previously reviewed items

- XMLUI interface is not as useful as JSPUI for news config, Bram proposed to have a more flexible front page
- would like to hear what types of optional configurable elements that the community would like to see need to hear functional req'mts (news box, statistics, list of comm/coll, what ever front page needs)

- GSoC project - do away with item-submission.xml and input-forms.xml and instead create an Admin UI that allows repo managers reorganize the submission UI
