All, Earlier in May, DuraSpace convened a small group of DSpace stakeholders/sponsors to begin brainstorming a 3-5 year Vision and High Level Roadmap for the DSpace platform.
We have just posted a brief summary of the discussions from this meeting, the outcomes and suggested next steps: http://duraspace.org/meeting-report-3-5-year-dspace-vision You are also welcome to read through the detailed meeting notes: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+2013+Vision+and+Roadmap+Meeting Based on the discussions of this meeting, we have begun to draft a Vision Document for DSpace. It is still very much a work in progress, and will be enhanced in the coming weeks/months. Therefore, please be warned that nothing in this early draft is finalized. But, you are more than welcome to take an early peek: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+2013+Vision+Document Much more information and many more discussions will be coming soon. In the meantime, you are welcome to contribute your own initial feedback (as a comment) to the wiki page above. We will be providing additional opportunities for public discussion/feedback both virtually and at Open Repositories 2013 (http://or2013.net/). Finally, it is worth noting that this DSpace 3-5 year Vision discussion does not have any direct relationship with the DSpace 4.0 release scheduled for late 2013. The DSpace 4.0 Release will go forward as planned and will add new features/improvements to our existing platform. The goal of this longer term DSpace Vision discussion is to describe use cases for a potentially new or updated DSpace platform, which may require many years/releases to implement. Feel free to let us know if there are immediate questions. We look forward to envisioning the future of DSpace together.
