Scope & Objectives

The DSpace Strategy and Roadmap Working Group recommended that the highest priority and first project for the new DSpace roadmap should be the creation of a single UI for DSpace.  There is already wide support from stakeholders and DSpace Steering for a project to identify an architecture and technology that would replace the existing XMLUI and JSPUI interfaces with a new, modern UI.

The method for evaluating and recommending the alternative architecture will be defined and managed by this working group. It is assumed that community volunteers will work on minimal pilot applications that provide demonstrable alternatives for consideration.  Working Group members may contribute/lead one of these pilots, but this is not a requirement for serving on the Working Group.

It is expected that the work of this group will be completed within a twelve-to-sixteen week timespan.

Meeting Times & Communication Channels

Frequency of meetings will be every other week, unless modified by the facilitator.  Initial meetings may be more frequent.
