Restructure the submission system - We need to expand arXiv's workflow capabilities to better accommodate new and more complicated workflows associated with document analysis, overlap detection, and improved moderator interactions.
Accelerate legacy codebase improvements - While the arXiv software operates well, there are areas where the codebase is old and should be migrated or rewritten to make is more efficient to maintain and further develop. So we need to invest in arXiv beyond what is feasible through the operational budget in order to make is 'sustainable' - easier to keep up and advance. We seek to accelerate the modest progress possible within the baseline maintenance scenario.
