So that the ArchivesSpace team can track comments and feedback regarding the specifications in one location, we have turned off the Disqus commenting features on this site.

We are very interested in getting community feedback and involvement and would encourage you to submit comments and feedback via the ArchivesSpace Google Group.

The Technical Review Team has completed the first draft of general design principles for the staff user interface of the proposed ArchivesSpace system.

We hope the ArchivesSpace community will review the general information or wireframes we have provided, or review the full description and business requirements.  Please provide comments via the ArchivesSpace Google Group by the end of October.

As the project technical team prepares to meeting next week, we made some updates to the specifications section of this site.  Specifically, we wroate a brief description of the overall system architecture and organized the specifications on sub-pages.  Later this week, we will be posting a draft of the staff interface design principles.

We encourage everyone to take a close look at any of the information we have posted an to offer comments on the appropriate page of this site.  We are reviewing comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to refine the data model and system requirements.
