• Use Cases : Continuing from the 2014 work, the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) hosted further meetings to gather community Use Cases and began prioritization of these use cases.
• Use Case Analysis : Analysis and prioritization of the gathered Use Cases.
• DSpace 2015-18 Strategic Plan - Technology (in process):  Based on the 2013 Vision Document and the 2014 Product Plan work, a formal (3-5 year) Strategic Plan for the DSpace platform technology will be developed for discussion at OR15. This Strategic Plan for Technology will lay out action items we will take to achieve the goals laid out in these two founding documents
  • As a reference point, the VIVO 2015-16 Strategic Plan: http://vivoweb.org/files/VIVOStrategicPlan20150210.pdf
• Technical Roadmap (coming soon): Based on the actions and goals laid out in the Strategic Plan, a short term (1-2 year) Technical Roadmap will be developed for discussion at OR15. This Technical Roadmap will detail specific, high-priority implementation projects (i.e. code/UI improvements) which will help the DSpace platform to move in the direction laid out by the Strategic Plan.
  • Rough notes on what a Technical Roadmap may include, and a beginning of a DSpace SWOT Analysis: http://bit.ly/dspace2015-roadmap 
  • Overarching goals:
    • We are NOT aiming for a from scratch rewrite. As we have a very active developer community on that existing codebase, and a from scratch rewrite would require major funding for such a large, well established platform.
      
    • We are aiming at a substantial leap in improving the user experience and the web user interface.
