create new category "Licensing" or put under "Getting new content into DSpace"
- move 11.2 Creative Commons Support
move to User Accounts
- 11.3 Subscriptions

3) Vision Group survey review

Bram: more a statement of a problem than showing answers - than necessarily a change direction
Maureen: need to move away from out-of-box, extension, etc distinction; need an importance scale rather than how will be implemented; what needs to be turnkey/core to DSpace - where are areas that are ok to plug in to DSpace; not everyone will know whether it should be in/out of the box
Val: what needs to be easy/non-event, implementation
Maureen: core svc or functions, currently can be integrated and future integration; definitely need to have, nice to have
Bram: support for non-English lanuages
Val: what has to be in DSpace/what does your institution need/absolutely critical in order for me to deliver svcs at my instituitons vs. what would be nice to have vs. what do we need to consider for the future vs. what do we not need vs. don't know?
Val: important to add ?s about other repository questions that Sarah P. posed - gauge why people are using / looking to use other repositories

4) Metadata project update

DCTerms is now included in 4.0 - not integrated anywhere, can be used, but must be added to forms, etc.
Will start to create necessary tools to facilitate migration - have one volunteer to help test tools
Identify all the places in DSpace where field is hardcoded - make them configurable, but still have them link to hardcoded - will make migration easier
- can be non-developer
volunteers have helped to identify questions that we haven't thought of - makes us more aware of reqmts people have - negative dates, etc.
next mtg time: team will figure out
