DSpace 2013 Vision Discussions

Next Steps / Planning

• Develop a high level "Vision" for DSpace software. Done: http://duraspace.org/sites/duraspace.org/files/u3/DSpace%20vision.pdf (see also DSpace 2013 Vision Document)
• Survey the DSpace Community around the perceived "use cases/features" which may achieve that Vision. Done: http://duraspace.org/dspace-vision-survey-help-define-future
• Summarize & analyze Vision Survey results (e.g. what does our community find most important?)
• Develop a high level "DSpace Technology Plan" which brings together the Vision with perceived core use cases and feature sets (based on Vision survey results)
• Investigate implementation options based on finalized core use cases and feature sets (while keeping in mind extendability for non-core use cases)
• Develop an Implementation Roadmap to achieve our Technology Plan & Vision
