Hi Robin, There are currently two main options:
(1) If your code is relatively small (i.e. a patch that is not too intrusive in regards to the current API), then I'd recommend posting it to JIRA as a new feature or code improvement. The DSpace developers review all new JIRA patches almost every week (or every few weeks at least). This would ensure your code is reviewed by the developers. It could also ensure your code would make it into a future release of DSpace (if approved by a vote). (2) If your code is a larger redesign or reworking of the DSpace API (or may require version control to ease in maintenance), we can set you up with access to the "sandbox" area of our Subversion code repository: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/sandbox/ From that area your code could be downloaded, worked on and tested by others. Once it's ready for approval or comments, a JIRA issue can be posted linking back to that code. Again, if approved/accepted, it could make it back into the DSpace core code in a future version of DSpace. If you go with option #1, you can create a patch immediately and upload it to JIRA (or just upload the new Java classes, if all the classes are new). Make sure to add appropriate documentation on how to install/configure/use your new feature. If you want to go with option #2, we'll have to talk with Mark Diggory about getting you access rights to the Sandbox area of our SVN code repository. I'm still getting familiar with how our SVN infrastructure is set up, and Mark is still the expert in that area! Let us know if you have any questions, comments, etc. (As a side comment, this sounds like a nice addition to the DSpace submission process. So, hopefully we can get this feature into a future release!) - Tim On 1/8/2010 10:08 AM, TAYLOR Robin wrote: > Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
