Do we have lists of specific types of DSpace repository implementors?
No
Should we develop/distribute a short repository implementors survey to the DSpace community?
Aim is to determine how the DSpace market is segmented, or get an idea of features that are used now
How many are IRs, or other types?
Develop questions for review/discussion (Jose)
Discuss how the current collection of Use Cases can be split etc.
BIG topic!
Will share initial thoughts that are in this direction
We have a basic set of use cases that describe DSpace at the moment
Do not cover 100% of potential functionality of DSpace 7
Not all are translated into system functionality—need to be careful of evolution
We currently have 2 UIs that will be translated into to a common UI; not all features are implemented in the same way
This group will be helpful in:
Reviewing all the use cases and identifying gaps
Reaching out to the community to ask for feedback that can be used it in different ways
Provide differentiation in design
Process of going from requirements to system will be designed
Development of DSpace 7 has begun; in order not to block we need to know that development will happen in a particular order
We start with core functionality; focus on search/browse, authorization
Useful to focus on browse and search first
identity use cases that relate to browse and search—identified 12 use cases that relate—will share after meeting (Wouter)
We are talking about use cases in developers meetings, behavior of the system; non-functional requirements could be discussed such as accessibility standards and others
Can we have access to priorities, timeline, JIRA board?
Yes, fleshing out the roadmap, will be available on the wiki
