1. Initial simplification of Installation/Upgrade processes (see DS-802)
2. 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):
   1. 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
   2. 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)
   3. Move towards more widespread usage of DSpace 2.0 Services (some examples in this proposal: Replace DSpace ConfigurationManager and PluginManager)
   4. Configurable Reviewer Workflow (@mire) a project that enhances Reviewer Workflow configurability that is orthogonal to Curation Tooling.
3. Begin to Improve "Interoperability" / Integration points
   1. Release a beta version of REST API
   2. Potentially allow for AIP Transmission via SWORD?
4. Also release features which just missed 1.7, but seem of high interest. Especially the following (this is not an exhaustive list!):
   1. Additional Curation Tasks?
   2. [Configurable Reviewer Workflow|DSPACE:DSpace 1.8 Configurable Reviewer Workflow] - project that enhances Reviewer Workflow configurability that is orthogonal to Curation Tooling.
   3. Context-Guided Ingest?
   4. SWORD Client for DSpace? - of high interest if we wanted to enable AIP Transmission via SWORD
   5. Other features listed on DSpace Release 1.8.0 Notes
