DSpace 8.0 development activities occur on our DSpace 8.0 Project Board.

Future Research / Planning

• To help with development activities (claiming/prioritizing tickets, testing new fixes, etc) please consider joining future Developer Meetings, or getting in touch via Slack or GitHub.  We welcome anyone and everyone to contribute.  Contributions can be in writing code, reviewing others code, or even simply testing someone else's code works properly.
• To help with documentation (e.g. https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x), please create a Wiki account (email wikihelp@lyrasis.org) and get in touch with Tim Donohue (via Slack or email) to ask for edit access to the documentation.
• To help brainstorm/suggest new features, consider joining the DSpace Community Advisory Team meetings or mailing lists.  This is our interest group for repository managers and they help suggest future features to DSpace Steering and developers.
• To help others (and perhaps yourself), consider joining our Mailing Lists and Slack.  These are the primary ways that people ask questions and support one another in using DSpace
  • Additional Support options are documented on our Support page.
