Hello,

I'm trying to customize the creation of Communities and Collections in
DSpace 1.8 in a way that I'm not sure will preserve compatibility for
future versions of DSpace.

1- The main customization in the Community Creation is to add default
Collections to a community. That is, if a community is created, it will
come with certain pre-defined collections.

2- Also, I would like to customize the creation of a collection by
dynamically assigning a specific customized submission in the moment of its
creation.

For #2, I've read about the Service Manager and how can modify the sources
of config values, and seems that would be a nice way to modify the process
of assigning a specific submission to a collection. But the Service Manager
seems to be a very recent update and I'm not sure if it is applicable in
DSpace 1.8 or not. Maybe there is a simple way to do that without using it.

#1 seems more difficult to me because involves the creation of collections
in the same moment of the community creation (and #2 could be applied in #1
as well for the default collections).

I will try to emphasize the major compatibility with the future versions of
dspace in this customizations, but they seem to me they are somehow
"radical". Is it possible to customize dspace that way without loosing
compatibility?

Thougts?

Cheers,
César
