  • It also points at the REST API demo (see below) and uses data from it.
  • Currently, the site is anonymous access only, as authentication / authorization features are still in progress.

Current Status of new UI

We are tracking the current status of all active DSpace 7 development on this Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18brPF7cZy_UKyj97Ta44UJg5Z8OwJGi7PLoPJVz-g3g/edit#gid=0

• The "Overview" tab contains a list of all high-level features currently available in either the DSpace 6.x JSPUI or XMLUI.  (If you feel a feature is missing, let Tim Donohue know)  Our development workflow is generally described below:
  
  • Green features are considered "completed" (or have an early implementation completed). These features should already exist on the demo site (https://dspace7-demo.atmire.com/).
  • Red features are waiting for review (i.e. code is nearly ready, and this feature is likely to be coming soon to the demo site)
  • Blue features are work in progress (i.e. one or more volunteers are currently working on this feature)
  • Yellow are ready to be worked on (i.e. waiting for volunteer)
  • White/Gray are not yet fully described in a development "ticket". They will still be part of DSpace 7. These features will move up this workflow (to Yellow → Blue → Red → Green) once other features are completed.

Other possible changes in DSpace 7.0 (not comprehensive)

The following is an (unordered) list of changes / new features that we'd like to see added to DSpace 7.0. If you have additional features to add, please feel free. We also NEED volunteers to make these features happen, so please do volunteer if you are willing to work on a particular change!  Please note that we reserve the right to reschedule/reject any feature that may not align well with the longer term RoadMap.
