[edit] Version 1.5.1

We invite developers to help with the next maintenence release of DSpace. Contributors are strongly encouraged to obtain the source code using SubVersion. This is very straightforward, and we've published a guide to doing so here: http://wiki.dspace.org/ContributionGuidelines

Furthermore each member of the DSpace community should advance his opinion on features and patches to be included and bugs to be fixed. Not all which is put on the ToDo-List will be really done, but we'll all do our best.

[edit] Documentation

  • Documentation is not accurate to the version. Maybe we can shift the documentation out to a website and in place of the local docs, put instead a page with link to the current accurate documentation. (not a show stopper)

[edit] Todo
