The DSpace application would not exist without the hard work and support of the community. We would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to Stuart Lewis the Release Manager from the University of Auckland Library. Stuart truly innovated the DSpace software release process for 1.6. From soliciting community input through the survey, to finding teams to work on new major feature development, to writing code himself, Stuart was committed to making sure the release included improvements the community most desired. We'd like to extend our gratitude to the developers who have worked very hard to deliver all the new features and improvements. Also thanks to the users who provided input and feedback on the development, as well those who participated in the "Big Bug Hunt" testing. Many thanks to Jeffery Trimble from Youngstown State University for the major renovations on the 1.6 documentation. For more details on the release contributors, click here. |
