Agenda:

• DSpace 7 documentation and testing. Guest: Tim Donohue (LYRASIS)
  

  • DCAT's role in helping to create user-facing documentation for DSpace 7 - *new* documentation that didn't really exist for DSpace 6 and below ("here's how you do X in the new UI"). 

  • Working on documentation can allow DCAT members to start to learn the new UI, document what they learn, and report back any bugs they find.
