DSpace 6.4 release planning

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi all,

It's been a long time since DSpace 6.3 was released, and there are a number of important fixes and improvements sitting (or ready to be merged) into the 6.x branch. So a few of us are working towards getting 6.4 out the door as soon as possible.

Here's a WIP release status wiki page with some useful links and issue lists: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+6.4+Release+Status

As we make progress, we'll update this page with notes and ETAs.

Of course, a lot of developer effort is going towards DSpace 7 at the moment so it can be a little hard to get attention for 6.x contributions.

If anybody has time to test and review 6.4 milestone PRs in Github, and/or call attention to PRs that are waiting for a final review or merge, or just help in any other way, please let us know with an email to dspace-devel, or by jumping into #dev on the Slack channel (dspace-org.slack.com)

Cheers!
