This page is the homepage for discussions taking place around DSpace 3-5 Vision and Roadmap, begun in May 2013 but continuing into 2014 and beyond

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
