  • Action 1A: Verify and validate the needs of a "modern institutional repository". This is instrumental in formalizing the value proposition of DSpace.
  • Action 1B: Survey the community on gathered use casesTechnology Roadmap / drafted feature rankings
    • Ranking of features or validation of our Technology Roadmap
    • Also an opportunity to possibly gather volunteers for specific feature projects
    • (Do we want another, post OR15 survey of the community based on Strategic Plan, Tech Roadmap & Use Case gathering?)
  • Action 1C: Identify minimum set of functionality/features for 'IR-core' and refactor codebase to provide this. This core may not be functional as-is, since it may require plugins that aren't extensions (e.g. authN)

...

  • Action: Clarify and improve the DSpace value proposition. Enhance our message and goals of the project going forward.  The DSpace Steering Group is working towards establishment of a new "DSpace Marketing Working Group" to help with this effort

  • Action: Enhance communication and collaboration. In order to avoid duplicative effort / projects in the future, we need to enhance communication and collaboration between various developers, institutions and service providers, and communicate a common vision / roadmap for the platform.
    • As a part of this action, we will be developing and maintaining a Technical Roadmap for the DSpace software platform, detailing high priority development projects which can be "claimed" or shared by groups of developers, institutions or service providers
    • At the same time, we should recognize that ad-hoc or competitive work can also be beneficial. We should continue to encourage ad-hoc contributions, and even competitive contributions, but make it clear that we will actively discourage further unnecessary duplicative functionality to be added to the platform.
