Hi Monika,
looking to your dspace installation the upgrade process should be enough
smoothly. You can save lot of space in the new JSPUI just working on css
or customizing the header-default.jsp file.
The functionalities that you list (curation task, login as, embargo) are
all available also in JSPUI.
The customization that you list about a "custom agreement page" is most
probably immediately portable to the new version as the Bistream servlet
and the ItemTag are almost unchanged in the last version and are where
most probably you customization appear.
Hope this help,
Andrea

After all this talk about the new and improved and entirely
different web UI on the strategic plan at the OR conference, I am
wondering how to proceed forward. We are stuck in the past: 1.8
JSPUI with a few customizations.
Are you willing to wait until 7.0 to upgrade? That's the earliest
reasonable date when a possible new UI might be expected. Your DSpace
is beyond security support period already.

It would be easy to port this to JSPUI in version 5, but the
bootstrap theme does not work particularly well for us - it seems
rather space consuming.
Has somebody a modified css / small JSPUI customizations that lead
to a tighter UI layout ?
IMHO it would quite difficult to keep your modifications to JSPUI
separate from upstream JSPUI if they are anything more than CSS
changes (e.g. bootstrap theme). You'd have to maintain a bunch of
patches to JSPs which might break on each upgrade. Are your
modifications something that makes sense to contribute back upstream?
Regarding JSPUI and best practices to work with the Bootstrap-based
interface in DSpace 4+, your best bet would be to talk to CINECA.
Comparing what I see in the XMLUI 5 with JSPUI 1.8, I see nice
features like
* admin can impersonate another user
* a control panel with system info - the ability to start
curation tasks …
* and a much more friendly interface for dealing with editing an
items metadata authorization, …
Aside from the different look and feel what are the
functional/feature differences between the XMLUI and JSPUI ?
There are quite a few different features, your best bet to make a
high-level comparison would be to review the list of new features in
each major DSpace version, e.g.:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-5.0ReleaseNotes
One of the changes we made requires a custom agreement page and
programming a bit of logic when to pop that page up and when to
simply show a bitstream. Who I did I talk to who said they have a
custom agreement type page at the OR conference ? Please holler -
was that XMLUI ?
That might have been Jozef M. from LINDAT/CLARIN, they have a custom
license module with such features and use XMLUI. It was briefly
mentioned here:
