Contribute to the DSpace Development Fund

The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.

Working Group disbanded as of June 2023 after the 7.6 release

The DSpace 7 Working Group was disbanded at the end of June 2023 once DSpace 7 became "feature complete".

 See "DSpace 7 moving into maintenance after 7.6" announcement.

All DSpace Development discussions/planning/meetings have transitions back into general DSpace Developer Meetings.  Please join us in those public meetings!

More Information / Background on DSpace 7

Background information on the DSpace 7 Release available at DSpace 7 UI Project Plain Language Summary.

More information, including some FAQs available at DSpace Release 7.0 Status

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.

    I don't know if this is the right place for some installation notes, but I thought it is better to move it later than not to write it down at all.

      I moved the install notes to DSpace 7 - Angular UI Development , and added a section here titled "Development & Training Resources"
