The
DSpace application would not exist without the hard work and support of
the community. Thank you to the many 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 testathons.
We especially would like to thank the 3.0 Release Team: Sands Fish (Release Coordinator) from MIT, Hardy Pottinger from University of Missouri, Robin Taylor from EDINA/University of Edinburgh, and Ivan Masár (aka helix84). Finally, we would like to thank Tim Donohue of DuraSpace for ensuring
that DSpace 3.0 went off without a hitch.
A
detailed listing of all known people/institutions who contributed
directly to DSpace 3.0 is available in the Preface of the DSpace
Documentation. (If you contributed and were accidentally not listed, please let us know so that we can correct it!)
For
DSpace 3.0, we had a total of 41 individuals contribute code, bug
reports, and bug fixes. Of those 41 individuals, a surprising 23 of
them were brand new contributors! A big thanks goes
out to everyone who participated for the first time. We hope you'll
continue to be a valuable addition to the DSpace community for the next
release and beyond!
