This "Product Plan" is a very rough draft. In fact, it's not yet even a fully realized "plan" (within with a timeline or schedule). It is still more of an analysis of possible feature or use case gaps within the DSpace platform. Once this analysis is completed and a DSpace Governance model is established, a Product Plan timeline and schedule will be developed by the forthcoming "Product Planning Group". |
...
The following table represents a list of candidate features (and corresponding use cases) that DSpace software may wish to implement. They have been sorted by average ranking from the 2014 DSpace Vision Survey results (see Survey Average Importance), in order to show which features are of higher highest importance to our community members. Each feature has been grouped into a rough "Category" (see Category descriptions), based on the part of the overall system it relates to. Finally, we've performed a rough analysis (based on corresponding use cases) of whether each feature has been implemented/achieved within the current DSpace platform (see Status Explanationsexplanations).
Overall, this table provides a way to visualize many of the highly ranked "use case /or feature gaps" which have not yet been met within DSpace, and which likely should be prioritized for future software releases.
...
The following table describes high-level, non-functional goals which DSpace software should strive to achieve. These "non-functional" goals do not map directly to features or functions within DSpace, and in fact, some goals may be subjective in nature. However, they are perceived as highly important in order to continue to maintain and grow our active, open source community of users and developers.
Non-functional Goal | Use Cases / Details |
---|---|
Easy to install / deploy |
|
Easy to upgrade |
|
Scalability / Performance | Some Suggestions:
|
Attractive to new developers |
|
Attractive to new Repository/Content Managers |
|
Avoid centrally maintaining duplicative codebases/functions |
