Note

What follows is a rough outline of the next steps in developing a vision and ultimately a technology roadmap for DSpace software. Please keep in mind that many of these steps may involve differing and sometimes overlapping groups of people. In addition, these steps may not necessarily be performed in the order displayed below.

UPDATE: These planning steps have been "formalized" into a Product Planning Process

  •  Develop a high level "Vision" for DSpace software.  (ACTION: DSpace Vision Team)
  •  Survey the DSpace Community around the perceived "use cases/features" which may achieve that Vision.  (ACTION: DSpace Vision Team)
  •  Summarize & analyze Vision Survey results (e.g. what does our community find most important about DSpace?).  (TIMELINE: March/April 2014, ACTION: DSpace Vision Team or subset)
  •  Develop a high level "DSpace Product Plan" which brings together the Vision with perceived core use cases and feature sets (TIMELINE: April/May 2014, ACTION: Small team, with early feedback/approval from all groups)
    •  Work begun at: DSpace Product Plan
    •  Present a draft of Technology Plan to community for feedback/input (at OR14 in June)
  •  Investigate implementation options based on core use cases and feature sets (while keeping in mind extendability for "non-core" use cases), (TIMELINE: TBD - Q3 2014?, ACTION: Small team of Committers / Tech savvy folks, with early feedback/approval from all groups
  •  Develop an Implementation Roadmap to achieve our Product Plan & Vision (TIMELINE: TBD - Q4 2014?, ACTION: Small team of Committers / Tech savvy folks, with early feedback/approval from all groups.)
