Authentication:

Question via Slack from Pierre Lasou:

Are there any discussions in the outreach group on the addition of Streaming features to DSpace 7? There are several uses cases that are related to this on the DSpace Wiki:

Integrations - Streaming Image Server
End User - Image file display (pan, zoom, size options)
Integrations - integrating with third party document streaming services
End User - Visitor can play media hosted on an external streaming media serverEnd User - Streaming Video Content : https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/End+User+-+Streaming+Video+Content

Is it something that may qualify for the first DSpace 7 release?
