Up for vote / discussion
- JIRA Upgrade & Merger with Fedora JIRA??
  - JIRA 4.x has a much improved interface & many nice new features (we're currently on JIRA 3.13).
    - See the 4.1 and 4.0 Release notes which list the new features (with screenshots).
    - There's also a 4.x demo video and a 4.x JIRA Sandbox.
  - DuraSpace is proposing to upgrade us to JIRA 4.x and merge our JIRA with Fedora's to form a single DuraSpace JIRA.
  - DuraSpace also suggests migrating our usernames into the DuraSpace "Crowd", which means your DSpace Wiki and JIRA will share the same login/password.
    - Crowd is another Atlassian product, which provides single sign-on to all Atlassian products (e.g. Confluences, JIRA, etc.)

1.6.1 Updates
- Kim Shepherd - "1.6.1 update: we seem to be on track.. not a great deal of code committed yet, but i'm sitting on a few patches that are just waiting for a bit more testing, as other others, so it'd be awesome to get some of these tested/reviewed further so they can be committed over the next week"
- 1.6.1 Issues requiring further review/advice
General proposal (by Mark Diggory) to move all DSpace Documentation to Wiki (Not voted on yet)
- Prototype of pre-1.6.0 Docs in Wiki
- Also see Fedora's Wiki-based Docs as another example: Fedora Repository 3.4.2 Documentation

Future vote on Docs in Wiki idea. Do we move entirely from DocBook Docs to Wiki Docs?
