Please read the news item below for more information. Valorie Hollister Director of Community Development, DSpace Project DuraSpace vhollis...@duraspace.orgmailto:vhollis...@duraspace.org Have you ever wondered which institutions have upgraded to the most recent version of DSpace or which repositories have video files stored? DuraSpace is pleased to announce a new resource, the community DSpace Registryhttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=i8p7uodab.0.0.5iy95gcab.0ts=S0483p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dspace.org%2Fwhos-using-dspace%2FRepository-List.htmlid=preview (http://www.dspace.org/whos-using-dspace/Repository-List.html). The database was conceived of and designed by members of the DSpace Global Outreach Committeehttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=i8p7uodab.0.0.5iy95gcab.0ts=S0483p=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.dspace.org%2Fconfluence%2Fdisplay%2FDSPACE%2FDSpace%2BGlobal%2BOutreach%2BCmteid=preview (http://wiki.dspace.org/confluence/display/DSPACE/DSpace+Global+Outreach+Cmte) (DGOC) to address one of the biggest challenges within the DSpace user community; not just to identify which institutions used DSpace, but also cultivate a resource with some basic information about those repositories to help facilitate connections between users. The work started early last year and included a Community Networking Surveyhttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=i8p7uodab.0.0.5iy95gcab.0ts=S0483p=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.dspace.org%2Fconfluence%2Fdisplay%2FDSPACE%2FCommunity%2BNetworking%2BSurvey%2BResultsid=preview (http://wiki.dspace.org/confluence/display/DSPACE/Community+Networking+Survey+Results), which gathered data about repositories and seeded the information now available in the database. Members of the DSpace community will now be able to search the database to discover other institutions which have similar repositories, environments or interests to their own. The hope of DGOC and the DuraSpace organization is that this listing will help foster all types of connections and collaborations in the future. What is new? The most popular page on the dspace.orghttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=i8p7uodab.0.0.5iy95gcab.0ts=S0483p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dspace.org%2Fid=preview site for the last few years has been the Who's Using DSpace? page. This page was a simple list of DSpace repositories with only the institution name, country and URL link listed. The list was not easily searchable or sortable. The new DSpace repositories database provides much more information and functionality. And there are now over 800 known repositories included in the database, representing over 80 countries. Main Table View The main database view provides you with a sortable table of all known DSpace instances. It includes the institution name, country, type of institution (academic, museum, government, etc), DSpace version/user interface and the URL link. This list can be re-ordered by any of the fields listed -- so if you want to get a quick view of who is using 1.6 XML/Manakin it can be done in an instant by clicking on the column header. Detailed Repository View To view all the available information about a specific repository (use case, file types stored, type of content stored, addons/extensions, database, operating system, etc), you simply click on the institution name. You will then view all the information available in the database about that particular repository. Search/Filters On the left hand side there is a number of search filters, including an open text search which you can use to perform a single or multi-faceted search and will produce a listing of those institutions which meet your selected criteria. How can you add or update your institution's information? The information available in the repositories database is limited to what has been provided by the institution either by registering previously on dspace.orghttp://dspace.org, the ROARhttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=i8p7uodab.0.0.5iy95gcab.0ts=S0483p=http%3A%2F%2Froar.eprints.org%2Fid=preview listing (http://roar.eprints.org/) or by responding to the April 2009 Community Networking
[Dspace-tech] Configuring Dspace To Index Powerpoint
I would like to enable dspace to index powerpoint presentations that are uploaded. I've done quite a bit of searching and have not been able to find a solid solution to this problem. Has anyone accomplished this task? Are there any resources for learning how to complete this task? Thanks. -- ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
Re: [Dspace-tech] New and Improved DSpace Registry
Valorie, Congratulations on the new interface. I like the layout and the search interface. However, I have a minor semantic clarification, I would recommend changing Addons Extensions Integrations to just Customizations. Many of the features listed in the Addon category appear to be local customizations to DSpace done as a local case and not full fledged reusable Addons or Modules that can be easily added to DSpace. I also recommend that the community really needs to properly clarify what is meant by Addon, Extension, Integration, Plugin, Module, Patch and other terms. In the developers group we now already have a very strict definition of what an Addon Module is. We need this clarification when describing to users what the DSpace developer community officially considers the endorsed manner in which to package and distribute customizations to DSpace. Addon Modules should be Maven Artifact Modules, packaged and distributed via Maven repositories such as the Maven central repository in a manner such that they can be included into your build process as dependencies with simply a few lines of configuration. It would probably be good if there were a separate classification for Addon Modules that is different from other Customizations. http://wiki.dspace.org/Modules Having a well defined terminology will assure that we all understand what is being described when we are conversing with one another about how we have changed DSpace.

Re: [Dspace-tech] New and Improved DSpace Registry
I concur with everything Mark said. The interface is great! However, I also found those designations confusing. Also, is there any way that dissertations and theses could be added somewhere besides the addons section? I would love to be able to know where all of the DSpace ETD collections were.
