- Simplify the process of installing & upgrading (make it easier for institutions to stay "up to date" with their installation)
- As a subpoint, also make steps to simplify configuration/setup, so that more of it can be completed via an Admin User Interface
- Improve upon the ability to import / export data and generally make data more accessible/usable by external applications/systems (i.e. improve "integration points")
- Make steps to allow for decentralized support of add-ons, third-party user interfaces, etc. (i.e. make steps to no longer require that all DSpace modules/UIs need to be supported centrally by the Committers)
- Make steps to enable DSpace with Fedora Inside as an installation option
...
- Initial simplification of Installation/Upgrade processes (see DS-802)
- Refactoring & modularization, which may include taking initial steps detailed in the following proposals (Note: the implementation details of these proposals are obviously up for discussion):
- Begin to Restructure Trunk Projects and Asynchronous Release Process - with a goal of ensuring our various applications do not all need to be installed out of the box
- Begin Refactoring the DSpace Domain Model - with a goal of ensuring we begin to separate our data model from underlying data access services (will be necessary to help support move towards Fedora-Inside, while also potentially enabling use to expand support for additional databases, etc)
- Move towards more widespread usage of DSpace 2.0 Services (some examples in this proposal: Replace DSpace ConfigurationManager and PluginManager)
- Configurable Reviewer Workflow (@mire) a project that enhances Reviewer Workflow configurability that is orthogonal to Curation Tooling.
- Begin to Improve "Interoperability" / Integration points
- Release a beta version of REST API
- Potentially allow for AIP Transmission via SWORD?
- Also release features which just missed 1.7, but seem of high interest. Especially the following (this is not an exhaustive list!):
- Additional Curation Tasks?
- Configurable Reviewer Workflow - project that enhances Reviewer Workflow configurability that is orthogonal to Curation Tooling.
- Context-Guided Ingest?
- SWORD Client for DSpace? - of high interest if we wanted to enable AIP Transmission via SWORD
- Other features listed on DSpace Release 1.8.0 Notes
