Scope & Objectives

The goal of this working group, led by Tim Donohue, is to create a new, single User Interface (UI) for DSpace that implements all functionality currently available in JSPUI and XMLUI.  The UI will interact with DSpace core data through a completely new REST API to insure complete separation of the user layer from the data layer.

Deliverables

Implementation of the User Interface and the REST API with code delivered on GitHub along with documentation on how to use, install, and extend the interface.

  • We also have our own DSpace 7 Working Group Processes document to provide additional details about our meeting structure, code contribution & review processes, etc.

• Join our Slack channel(s) (see below).  We use Slack as a way to stay in touch each day (between our weekly meetings)
• Developers are welcome to jump in and claim tickets for either Angular UI or REST API.  We maintain a list of easier tickets specifically for new developers to learn about the contribution process (See the "good first issue" label for Angular UI or REST)
  • All upcoming DSpace 7 releases have a GitHub project board detailing progress & which tickets we'd like to complete for each release: https://github.com/orgs/DSpace/projects
