As we look to spring, it's also time to start planning the technical upgrades to Folio for this summer. As a team, we decided that it would be helpful to get input from our users before we finalize our summer development plans. Sean hosted a series of technical roadmap calls to gather feedback about the Folio application, before we finalize our plans for the summer. This is the presentation used on the call. As always, if you have ideas but could not make one of the calls, you can always email ideas@foliocollaborative.org, and we will capture your feature request in our system.
