Meeting Notes

(in progress)

Q: Can you talk more about the backend? (Ivan)

A: Regular Angular 2 backend.

Q:Performance (Pascal)

A: Only used for clients with JavaScript turned off (Google Scholar, explicitly in browsers)

Q NoScript extension (Mark)

A: Roeland uses it, works, requires JavaScript turned on. Does more than just turning off JS per domain, like XSS protection. (Roeland)

Q: REST API completeness, missing features

A: UI developers are keeping a list. We’ll discuss whether current REST is adequate or needs a rehaul.

Q: Road map for the UI? (Monika)

A: Will be covered later in the presentation

Q: Theming support (Ivan)

A: Bootstrap theming (there was a successful prototype of changing Bootstrap variables from admin UI). CSS (SASS). Very HTML-like templates. (Tim, Art)

Q: Performance (Kim)

A: The frontend (Angular server-side rendering)  can run on a separate machine. Possibly multiple different frontends in front of a single DSpace instance.

Q: Theme per collection/community/site – we should support out of the box. (Ivan)

 Will be posted here after the meeting
