Robin, I am a developer.
Would this Google Summer Of Code project eventually be rolled into the DSpace official release code base? Because I am on a grant and long term I do not want to hack DSpace as upgrading could be problematic once my grant runs out. This project may not have a developer after the grant (but will have an admin to maintain things). If it is going into official DSpace eventually and I can get a jump on it early by rolling it in myself now - happy times :) - Damian ________________________________________ From: Robin Taylor [robin.tay...@ed.ac.uk] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 11:20 AM To: Sobieralski, Damian Michael; rtayl...@staffmail.ed.ac.uk; dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Dspace-tech] Conditional submission form rendering based on answers from a previous page I'm not sure the Initial Questions page will fulfil your needs. A repository manager would probably be able to give you a better answer but I think it is mostly just to recognise a preprint as opposed to an already published article. Depending on your answer you will subsequently be prompted for a publication date, or not. Once we get the Google Summer of Code Item Based submission live I can make it available to you but that wont be until after the new year. Are you a developer or do you have access to one ?
