2014 Meeting objectives
From August until December 2014, the monthly DCAT meetings are centered around defining, refining and prioritizing DSpace use cases.
These use cases are expected to have an important impact on the medium and long term roadmap of DSpace, starting with DSpace 6 in 2015.
August Meeting Agenda: End user use cases
During the august meeting we will be discussing use cases that affect users who use DSpace:
- as anonymous, non-logged in users
- as registered, logged-in users who do not have any specific administrative rights or responsibilities
For each of the needs that emerge, we will try to qualify those needs as:
- Supported: the use case is being addressed and that the bulk of configuration associated with it (if any) can happen through the UI.
- Partially supported: there is room for improvement in the support for the use case. It also covers the cases where specific server configuration or small customizations to the code are required in order to properly support the use case.
- Unsupported: if at all possible with DSpace, addressing the use case requires substantial modifications to the DSpace sourcecode.
We rather want to cover more use cases than to stick to a limited number, allowing to dig deeper in detail. This is why we will be asking the participants in the call for their institutions or personal priority after devoting ~5 minutes to a explanation and discussion about the actual use case. This means we hope to cover at least 10 use cases during the call.

The best way to participate and contribute
If you have some time to spare to prepare for this meeting, it would be great if you could briefly list the most important end user use cases for you or your institution, especially if they fall in the category unsupported.
