- Redesign the JSPUI stylesheet
- Brief Description: DSpace ships with two different user interfaces 'out of the box'. One is based on JSPs and is known as the JSPUI, and the other on Cocoon known as the the XMLUI. The JSPUI looks a little dated now, and needs a new look that could be created by applying a new CSS stylesheet. More details to follow.... You can see the standard JSPUI design at http://demo.dspace.org/jspui/

- NOTES: This is probably too time-consuming for a single task... split into multiple tasks (api, jspui, xmlui, etc) will mean more students can participate, or means one very diligent student gets rewarded sufficiently for his/her work

- Enhance preexisting documentation for DSpace by contributing correctes images, corrections and editorial review in the live documentation
- Brief Description: The DSpace documentation takes the form of a wiki site that is exported to a PDF manual for each release of the software. Whilst the documentation is reasonably complete, it lacks a lot of images, and is often out of date in sections. This task (of which there will be multiple variations) will require you to choose one section of the manual, and contribute images, check for correctness and completeness, and fix any errors you find.
- Skills: Software installation, documentation, image capture and manipulation, wikis
- Estimated duration: 10 hours per page
- Contact: Various
- Notes: Needs a list of the main doc sections
