</pre>
Going forward for the 0.6 release we will focus on:
* business specific metadata
* access control at the object level
* Introduce freetext search on uploaded documents
Arkivverket has signaled that they are not going to priortise Noark going forward. This has no real bearing on the project as nikita is not dependent on the Noark standard. We will continue working on Noark as the basis for nikita as there is a lot of best practice record keeping functionality defined in Noark, and we believe that there definitely is space for such a product developed as FOSS.
We are discussing a lot of interesting stuff going forward and you are welcome to join us on #nikita on freenode.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the project!
- Thomas
