<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">At the moment, due to increasing staff and the recent release of v1.1.0, we are composing a 12-month development plan which we will be vetting soon, initially with the Advisory Councils and then with the general
membership. The development plan will consolidate and prioritize feature requests, bug reports, and chores currently logged into the ArchivesSpace Pivotal Tracker (at
<a href="https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/386247">https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/386247</a>), as well as those culled from reports recently received from Harvard and UIUC and at various workshops over the past several months. We expect
the review process to take several weeks to complete. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#1F497D">As you are aware Yale University, like others, is actively developing ArchivesSpace to ensure it meets our (and potentially other users’) needs prior to implementation.
We have contracted with Hudson Molonglo to enhance AS accessions, search, and container management functions—information about our development plans can be found on our
<a href="http://guides.library.yale.edu/archivesspace">Web site</a>. You and the other members of the ArchivesSpace team have been incredibly helpful and encouraging, but we realize that we would benefit from broadening the communication. As we move forward
with our plans and think about additional development areas, it would be incredibly helpful to get some additional guidance and support from AS and are requesting the following:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#1F497D">A development hub maintained by AS that includes:</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">AS development plans (clearly stated and with target timelines)--this will ensure that users do not embark on development that is already planned (it is difficult to get a clear picture from Pivotal Tracker);<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">a more formal process for submission of development requests, including a promise that submissions will be addressed with follow-up;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1F497D;margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">centralized place where community member development plans can be vetted and shared--the AS listserve and GoogleGroup and great for communication but not tracking development.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#1F497D">AS guidelines regarding core code and plug-in development, including

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#1F497D">We believe guidelines and a development hub will facilitate community development and engagement and will maximize the benefit of individual development goals for all members and users. Thank
