  • First, if you aren't sure whether it's a bug or want advice, feel free to ask on Slack.  The DSpace 7 development team uses the #angular-ui channel (for UI discussions) and #rest-api channel (for REST API discussions). Though even reporting it on #dev (general developer channel) is perfectly fine.
  • If you are sure it's an issue, create a ticket 
  • Once it is reported, we'll analyze it and schedule it to be completed (based on priority).  Please make sure to note how you found this issue and/or any steps to reproduce it.

Want to help out?

Thank you first for trying out DSpace 7!  Reporting issues (see above) or simply trying things out is already a big help.  However, there are other ways you can contribute and help make DSpace 7 even better (and/or help it get released even more quickly):

  • Translate DSpace 7.  If you know another language (or two or three) and want to help us with our translations, see DSpace 7 Translation - Internationalization (i18n) - Localization (l10n)
  • Help us improve the DSpace 7 Documentation.  While we do our best to get our development team to write some basic Documentation for every new feature, we know that documentation is sometimes a bit technical or not as user friendly as it could be. (No offense to our developers, they are doing what they do best, help us build great new features!)  If you are interested in helping us improve our Documentation, see DSpace 7 Documentation.  We especially could use help writing new end user documentation (e.g. how to do ___ in the DSpace 7 user interface), as we have a brand new user interface!
  • Help us fix bugs or review new features as they are built. If you are a bit more technical, we could use more developers willing to chip in on small bugs and/or do some quick testing (or review) of new GitHub Pull Requests.  The more testers & bug fixers we have, the quicker we can move (as all Pull Requests require testing/review from at least 2 others).  So, this sort of contribution can quite literally help us get DSpace 7 out the door more quickly!  No prior Angular or Java experience is necessary (in fact, it's a great way to learn the code or gain such experience), but you should be OK with testing PRs and providing your feedback.  Contact Tim Donohue or join a future DSpace 7 Working Group meeting.
