The DSpace community uses Jira to track, prioritize, and guide its work. In addition to tracking the DSpace platform development work, Jira also allows the community to watch specific issues -- receive updates when there are changes -- as well as vote on an issue's relevance. Although there are no guarantees when a specific item will be addressed, the community can build a consensus on items captured in Jira and it will enhance the visibility of that issue. Jira also allows developers to create hierarchal tasks, vary the privilege levels and create a variety of status reports. Community members are encouraged to create accounts, comment on issues, and participate in the steering process. Jira participants can also subscribe to feeds, if they are interested in tracking activity.
