Scope & Objectives

The goal of this working group is to create a new, single UI for DSpace that implements all functionality currently available in JSPUI and XMLUI.  The interface will interact with DSpace core data through the REST API to insure complete separation of the user layer from the data layer. It will be built as a modern responsive client side web application using Angular 2.

Deliverables

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

Meeting Times & Communication Channels

• Meetings: We meet every week on Thurs at 16:00UTC, alternating (every other week) between text chat meetings (on Slack) and conference call meetings. Anyone is welcome to join these meetings.
  • Upcoming schedule can be found on the DuraSpace Public Events Calendar (iCal, RSS Feed)
  • Meetings typically last only one hour (first 1/2 hour concentrates on Angular UI updates/discussion, and the second 1/2 hour on REST API).
  • Meeting notes are all available below.
• Slack: Between meetings, we encourage usage of Slack to keep in touch and ask questions. If you have not yet joined the DSpace Slack, you may request an invite. All are welcome on Slack.
