  1. A new User Interface based on Angular 2 (to replace XMLUI and JSPUI). This work is going on at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular
    1. The goal of the new UI is to implement all major features of both XMLUI and JSPUI in a single, modern UI.
    2. While additional UI-related features/improvements may come in this release (especially any that are made easier by Angular), we do not anticipate any significant changes to the DSpace backend (except for the REST API, as noted below).
  2. A refactored/enhanced REST API (using modern REST best practices). This work is going on in the "master" branch of https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace
    1. Additionally, a new REST Contract (describing all API interactions) is being written at https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract

For much more information on the history behind these decisions, see DSpace 7 UI Project Plain Language Summary

Where is this work happening? How can I track it?
