DSpace 7 UI project – plain language summary of the update webinar (slides/recording here: http://duraspace.org/hot-topics)

Background to the DSpace 7 project

A call for proofs of concept went out in late 2015/early 2016 and resulted in a number of ideas; after review, it was decided to go with Angular2.  At the same time, it was agreed that the REST API should be reviewed and improved

At Open Repositories 2016 a proof of concept using Angular2 + current REST API was demo'd.

In the meantime, we delivered DSpace 6: DSpace Release 6.0 Status 

And since then have been back to the DSpace 7 project working on a framework for the new UI and capturing use cases.  You can see the use cases here: Use Cases

Breaking down the technology

What is Angular2? 

AngularJS 2.0 is...

Why are we re-building the REST API  – what improvements will I see as an admin?  Will my end users see from these changes?

How are we using these technologies to build the UI - a description, in plain English, of the potential that is provided by using the combination of Angular2 + improved REST API

What have we done so far on this?

Project steps (doesn’t have to have dates, but something to indicate where in the process you feel we are up to) – would be good to provide something visual for this, rather than text as the page will be text heavy

Tim used the phrase ‘building the frameworks’ – what does this mean in terms of the development roadmap?
