DSpace 7 Update

The DSpace Steering Group has been discussing whether to potentially expand the scope of DSpace 7 to include more new features such as support for storing things like Authors (to create Author Profile pages, like Bepress, etc), and some other objects that tend to be more CRIS-oriented.These ongoing discussions may mean that DSpace 7 is not *just* a new UI on existing features–what we have been focusing on for "What's in DSpace 7".

The Steering Group has another meeting scheduled to discuss further and work towards making a decision–not sure when this decision will be made. We might want to hold off on publishing "What's in DSpace 7" until this discussion completes --- we can still finalize the document, but may want to just hold it until entities work is finalized.

Discussion–2017 DSpace Annual Report

The Fedora Project Leadership Group recently published the Fedora 2017 Annual Report. A PDF of the report can be downloaded from the Fedora wiki.

Would a similar report be of interest to the DSpace community and if so could this group facilitate development of a manuscript?

Too late, plan the next one; define a structure; some things to report; important to have this; need to work with others–not totally responsible; define structure, metrics, info about types of DSpace instances; can do it but not alone

Collective effort–steerers, DCAT, do not agree that it is too late, shoot for May in 2019

Tim likes the idea, one or two people need to own this

Tim–list on the wiki Strategic Planning
