This roadmap describes new development on the core code of the ArchivesSpace application by the ArchivesSpace Program Team and community developers.

The complete record for core code development is in JIRA.  This includes all completed development work (including all the work that was previously represented in Pivotal Tracker and migrated to JIRA in January 2015), current development work, work prioritized to be addressed in the near future, and work not yet prioritized. 

Starting in 2016, development work to be conducted by the ArchivesSpace Program Team will be prioritized by the Development Prioritization subteam in collaboration with ArchivesSpace Program Team members. The Development Prioritization subteam is composed of members of the ArchivesSpace User and Technical Advisory Councils.

For more about the ArchivesSpace development process, see Release Schedule and Process. Information on ArchivesSpace plugins and integrations are available on their respective wiki pages.
