This page drafts the scope of the DSpace 6.3 release. Most of these tickets are almost ready or can move quickly. Important issues tend to be listed at the top, but as new items come in, the list won't be purely in order of priority.

If you know of an open JIRA issue or contribution that you really want to see make it into v6.3 that isn't listed on this page, you can give it some attention by posting a message to the DSpace Developer mailing list, and/or giving it a shout-out in the #dev channel in the DSpace Slack

If you're able to volunteer time to code up a solution related to a JIRA issue that needs a volunteer, send in that Pull Request against the dspace-6_x branch!

If you're able to review and test an open Pull Request to help get it approved and merged, please do try out some PRs currently waiting for reviews and give your comments / results to help us keep things moving.
