Hi Gaurav,
welcome!
I like to see this information stored in database so that you have less
concern about write/read lock and a more scalable solution when a hight
number of collections are availables (at the moment we are maintaining a
DSpace repository with more then 1000 collections).
I want to suggest a few things:
1) the role that is allowed to change the submission configuration
should be configurable in dspace.cfg (collection admin or system admin)
2) a collection could have more then one available "type of submission",
in this case the "select collection step" is required to ask to the user
which form has to be used
2.1) I think to the "type of submission" as a combination of exactly
one form-definition and one submission-process
3) an "import configuration tool" should be provided for both: upgrade
and fast system admin management (an update mode should be useful but I
don't think that it is mandatory)
