Info

Help us discover the technology/platform for our new user interface (UI) for DSpace! Create a prototype UI on a platform of your choice (in any programming language), with basic DSpace-like capabilities as described below. The goal of a UI prototype is to "exercise" a new UI technology/platform to see whether it would meet the needs of our DSpace community.

Guidelines

  • Prototypes are due by Friday, Nov 6. Please sign up below to register your prototype (and possibly find collaborators).

  • Do not spend more than 80 hours total per prototype!

  • Use the REST API or DSpace Java API (v5 or pre-6) when accessing DSpace content. Direct database or bitstream file system access is not allowed.

  • Use Bootstrap or emulate the existing XMLUI Mirage2 theme. Prototype UI design will not be a major factor in the decision, so keep it simple. Focus on functionality over fancy UI look and feel.

  • Make sure the prototype is “developer friendly”: keep the code readable and understandable at this early point. Keep the code DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself), but don’t overdo it.

  • Make all code publicly available on Github, along with installation instructions. A publicly accessible demo is also nice but not required.

  • Features that can’t be implemented in 80 hours or features not mentioned below may be mocked up or wireframed. But again, please don’t spend more than 80 hours.

  • NOTE: We will be evaluating the fit of the prototype’s platform and not the flashiness or even completeness of the prototype itself. For example, an incomplete prototype revealing a lot of potential for the platform may be preferable to a complete prototype that reveals platform-level limitations.
