• Currently the DSpace 7 UI is read-only (submit/edit/admin tools will be coming). Therefore, if you want test content in place, you'll need to do one of the following:
  • Option #1: Start with an install of  DSpace 6, create some communities, collections and archive some items. In this situation, you'll perform an "ant update" to DSpace 7.
  • Option #2: Create some AIPs from a DSpace 5 or 6 instance to load into DSpace 7 for testing.
• Compile/Install/Deploy the current master main (https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/mastermain) using the normal DSpace install process ("mvn package" and "ant update" or "ant fresh_install"). 
  • This codebase is very similar to DSpace 6, but it includes no XMLUI or JSPUI, and has a new "dspace-spring-rest" project (which is the DSpace 7 REST API)
• Deploy the webapp dspace-springserver-rest as dspace-spring-rest webapp as /server (if you use another path, you may want to change the index.html file within the webapp)
• Start your servlet container and take a look into its logfiles
  • If you have problems deploying the webapp in cause for slf4j and log4j, it may be necessary to delete [dspace]/webapps/spring-rest/WEB-INF/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.22.jar
• Test if dspace-spring-rest was loaded successfully by opening it in a browser. You can compare it to the demo site:  https://dspace7api7.4sciencedspace.it/dspace-spring-restorg/server/
• Install dspace-angular. You can try it as described in the OR2017 DSpace Angular Workshop or take a look into the Readme.md in the dspace-angular git repository.

Workflow

• Have a look at the project board

• Take an issue that’s in the ready section and has nobody assigned to it

• Assign yourself

• When you start working on it, move the issue to the “in progress” section

• Work on a separate branch for the issue on your fork

• When you’re ready, fire a pull request

• in the comments of the pull request, write something akin to “this PR connect’s to #{the ID of the issue}”. That way the issue will be moved automatically to the review column.

• When at least two people have reviewed and approved your PR, it can be merged in master.

• You can also help out by reviewing the pull requests of other people

• Please keep an eye on your pull request afterwards, the reviewers may have questions or comments about it, or ask you to tackle things in a different way, before they can approve it

• Most discussions about the task or the pull request can happen through the github & project board comments.

• If it’s more complex you can bring it up in one of these meetings.

• After your Pull Request has been merged, drag the issue to the done column on the project board. (this can also be automated by adding “this merge closes #{the id of the issue}” in the merge comment.

• If you've claimed an issue, but can't work on it for some reason, please remember to unassign yourself and put it back in the "ready" column so someone else can take over.
