Hello All, Wishing the DSpace Community a very happy new year!
I had been following this post for quite sometime and thought it is high time, we develop something like this and contribute it back to the DSpace Community. We, at Webinito, would like to announce that we can commit one of our team members on this project. We would require other DSpace enthusiasts and service providers to join us and work towards to accomplishing this project. We used Scribd and provided the same to our clients as Document Viewer but the problem that we found was that the client does not always believe in 3rd party software and believe that uploading their data on Scribd is basically infringing upon their rights. Hence, we believe an integrated Document Viewer with DSpace should help most of these universities. Also contributing back to the Open Source community at DSpace should help all the dspace enthusiasts who are looking for something like this in Dspace. We are also willing to donate more of our source code to the community such as DSpace AJAX Search, Thesaurus etc. Waiting for everybody's suggestions!
