Round One Primo Enhancements
Round Two Primo Enhancements
When in 2023 | What |
|---|---|
January 28 | Deadline to submit new enhancement requests in NERS (New Enhancements Request System) for the 2023 round |
January 29 – March 11 | The Primo Enhancements Team* reviews and vets the submissions. This includes dedup’ing, rewrites for clarity, contacting submitters if needed, withdrawing if already in-product, on the Roadmap (if certain) or a bug rather than an enhancement, transferring to Alma and vice versa, and setting up the vote (6 weeks) |
March 12 – April 2 | Voting round (3 weeks) Note: This is a longer period to allow for consideration of the full list of submissions, and avoids the Easter holiday period 7-10 April |
April 3 – April 6 | The Enhancements Team reviews the results, and they’re sent to Ex Libris to assign development points Note: The top 20 are requested to be pointed, per the Product Development Collaboration Agreement, but the full list of results are sent as a good opportunity for Ex Libris to see community interests |
April 7 – June 1 | Ex Libris assigns development points and the Enhancements Team determines if a second round of voting is needed, such as if there is doubt over community preference with rejected requests or no clean alignment of assigned points for top submissions against the available points (8 weeks) Reminder: We borrowed 5 points last year, so we have 195 for Primo in 2023 |
June 4 – June 18 | If necessary, a second round of voting takes place on pointed requests (2 weeks), or otherwise we’ll advise of the successful accepted submissions to be delivered |
And then? | Ex Libris delivers the accepted enhancements within one year, customarily by the next September |
