  • DSpace 4.0 - Planning next steps, calls for help/support, etc.
  • Empowering individuals / small teams to tackle problems & find solutions rapidly
    • Came up during an IRC Mtg dicussion on 2013-04-10 (starts around [20:32])
    • Want to avoid "blockages" or slowing down progress by waiting around for "widespread approval" on any proposal/idea.  Instead, we want to let small groups move/develop rapidly, and trust that they will build something "good enough" (which we can later improve on if needed). These small groups would still need to communicate their work/progress back to broader developer community (to keep others in the loop / receive ongoing feedback / avoid duplicate projects), but need not wait for an "official vote" before moving forward with their work.
    • Possible "quicker" workflow:
      1. someone raises an issue / feature idea
      2. several interested parties discuss it
      3. self-organized team presents an idea, hears objections and suggestions
      4. (if needed) team addresses immediate concerns and presents again
      5. (we hope) everybody is okay with amended proposal and work goes forward
      6. people talk about the work as it is progressing, and get more feedback
      7. finished work addresses all known issues and is voted in. If additional work is needed it may be voted in as a "beta" feature until it can be improved in future releases.
  • DSpace 3-5 Year Vision: Discussion of output of the May meeting (in Chicago) to draft a 3-5 year high-level vision/roadmap for DSpace software. This meeting was formed out of the vision discussions that took place as part of the DuraSpace Sponsor Summit in March
  • DCAT proposal to improve metadata support in DSpace (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Updating+the+Qualified+Dublin+Core+registry+in+DSpace+to+the+latest+standards+of+the+DCMI).
