Website and group

Supporters


This project is managed and supported by Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation (QCIF). The project received initial funding support from the Australian Data Service (ANDS) and the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program and the Education Investment Fund (EIF) Super Science Initiative.

Feature planning

ReDBox and Mint are open source systems, relying on a community model for development. Formal projects may provide feature development (see Project governance) but development work may happen through a number of efforts.

The feature planning section seeks to highlight development work that is being discussed. The goal is to be open about new feature requirements/specifications and to garner support where possible. You are encouraged to nominate features of interest and work with the community to determine how development may occur.

The table below lists the current features under discussion and the nominated lead groups undertaking development.
