DSpace Federation

The DSpace Federation is directing the (further) development of DSpace. The collaborative developing model is similar to that of the Apache Foundation. The developer are recruited from the user group, so that everyone, who keeps with the development rules can be conductive to DSpace. There is a group of core developers and comitters, who can change the original source code. In addition to this every developer has the opportunity to express his suggestions, whishes and constructive critisism about DSpace and make in this way a contribution to the further development. The DSpace developer and user community can exchange ideas via newsgroups, a wiki and user meetings. Platform for the collaborative development is SourceForge.
