vFull MODS support
§Plugin for MODS trivial if we flatten
subfields, but we should do it properly?
§Store MODS internally?
but we must continue to support user-defined metadata formats
§Extend GLI to MODS editor or
link to external editor?

but is this useful?
§Too ambitious to support full METS?
should we study popular METS profiles?
vBridge to DSpace: StoneD
§For Greenstone2: DSpace plugin, export to DSpace is
this all we need?
§For Greenstone3: runtime Greenstone3
service that encapsulates DSpace repository?
vIntroduce workflow features
§Institutional repository, conference
submission/review, other workflows
or rely on external linkups, e.g. DSpace?
vHow to fund development?
§scarce resources better used for
internationalization, support for developing countries?
vHow to create sustainable user support
services?
§Currently NZDL group provides excellent online
support
§UNESCO envisages network of regional Greenstone
centers
§Central coordination/support services necessary
