- Java code style clean-up
- Brief Description: Fix tab indentation, { } block style, comments style used in Java code to conform to DSpace developer guidelines
- Skills: Basic programming/syntax knowledge, working in IDEs, (svn) versioning control, eye for detail
- Estimated duration: ?
- Contact: Kim
- 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. Need to liaise with Graham about this.
Documentation
- Enhance preexisting documentation for DSpace by contributing 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 Whilst the documentation is reasonably complete, it lacks a lot of images, and is often out of date in sections.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
Outreach
Quality Assurance
- Write a suite of junit tests to test a core API class
- Brief Description: The core DSpace API comes with some junit tests that allow the code to be tested automatically. There are a lot of gaps in the testing coverage, and we need to fill these. This task will be involve being assigned a class that requires testing, and writing some junit tests for each method.
- Skills: Java, testing, junit, code analysis
- Estimated duration: 10 hours per class
- Contact: Various
- Notes: Need to list the classes that need testing, in order of importance to us
