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.
This page is the homepage for discussions taking place around DSpace 3-5 Vision and Roadmap, begun in May 2013.
Next Steps / Planning
- Develop a high level "Vision" for DSpace software. Done: http://duraspace.org/sites/duraspace.org/files/u3/DSpace%20vision.pdf (see also DSpace 2013 Vision Document)
- Survey the DSpace Community around the perceived "use cases/features" which may achieve that Vision. Done: http://duraspace.org/dspace-vision-survey-help-define-future
- Summarize & analyze Vision Survey results (e.g. what does our community find most important?)
- Develop a high level "DSpace Technology Plan" which brings together the Vision with perceived core use cases and feature sets (based on Vision survey results)
- Investigate implementation options based on finalized core use cases and feature sets (while keeping in mind extendability for non-core use cases)
- Develop an Implementation Roadmap to achieve our Technology Plan & Vision
