Suggestions of finding ways for DCAT to help "pool resources" (how is up for discussion)
See the full transcript below for details of discussion.
Discussion of Version Numbering for DSpace.
Talked about the two initial proposals for changing numbering (see above: "dropping the "1.", and a YY.MM numbering scheme)
Overall, there was no definitive majority in favor of any new numbering scheme. So, by default, we will continue to call the next version "1.8". If in the future we change our minds (and reach a majority), we can always announce a numbering change.
Thoughts on Version Numbering wiki page created, where individuals can add their proposals for why we may or may not want to change our version numbering. Anyone is welcome to add suggestions there. This may eventually be posted to mailing lists for more comments / ongoing discussion.
