Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

Additional Ongoing Topics

How can we "catch up" with JIRA Backlog?
- Do we need to "split up" the tickets & do quick reviews on our own? Or perhaps just split up tickets & do a very quick ranking & schedule ones with patches for 3.0?
- Perhaps we schedule a "JIRA Backlog Bash" event (via IRC or similar) where we work together to decrease the backlog over a few days or a week (think of this like a "Test-a-thon" but instead we'd be working to just clear out the backlog as best we can).
Brainstorming Features/Changes for future. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
  - Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)
  - Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
  - AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-994, DS-1006, DS-1007, DS-1088, and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
- Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
  - Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
  - "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
  - Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)
  - Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
  - Other Development Proposals
