Work in Progress

Priority 1 Features

Priority 1 FeaturesDesign / NotesRelated Technical Strategic Goal(s)Core?ComplexityUse Cases
Single User InterfaceGoal 2: Lean and flexiblexHigh

For reference:

Non-functional: "Module" Framework and Registry
  • Define a family of specifications/interfaces for functional extensions to 'core' DSpace ( working title: 'modules'), and refactor existing bundled code to conform to new model (if appropriate/cost-effective)
  • Provide infrastructure/tools for a module registry, where users can discover, and install modular extensions. Likely include both modules maintained by committers and community contributions.
Goal 3: Can be "extended"xHigh 
Configurations in Admin User Interface Goal 5: Low cost, "just works"xHigh
Enhance Content Model / Metadata
  • Need split this (and associated use cases) up into several small features/projects. Otherwise, it is too large to easily manage

Single Search / Browse System (SOLR)
  • Lucene and old DB browse system are already deprecated. Just need removal
