Improving the user experience on devices with smaller display sizes becomes a priority for many institutions.

2015 AND BEYOND
3-5 years vision statement
DSpace 6 next steps
3-5Y VISION STATEMENT (2013)
1. DSpace will focus on the fundamentals of the modern "Institutional Repository" use case. We are striving to meet the IR needs of the next 5-10 years.
2. DSpace will be "lean", with agility and flexibility as primary goals.
3-5Y VISION STATEMENT (2013)
3. DSpace will include a "core" set of functionality that can be "extended" (think plugins) or have "hooks" (integration points) to complimentary services/tools
4. DSpace will be designed in such a way that it can be easily/quickly configured to integrate with new & future tools/services in the larger digital scholarship "ecosystem"
3-5Y VISION STATEMENT (2013)
5. DSpace will support low-cost, hosted solutions and deployments (by featuring an easy, "just works" setup)
DSPACE 6 NEXT STEPS
New DSpace governance should help in tackling challenges that go beyond the scope of a single release.
The community has produced a large corpus of DSpace Use Cases.
These will be prioritized and championed
