Actually, I think it would make an excellent project, I'll add here and to all the students planning to submit an application. Pay attention to the details, its important to show more than just coding here, this is about community participation. This year we are seriously considering the code getting commited to dspace trunk as a requirement for successful completion of the project. > I also found that PLoS ONE which based on Fedora has several social features > like commenting, rating, related articles, metrics, ... > http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0009840 > I'm currently working on my thesis in which I'm developing an API that > gathers information like bookmarks, blogposts, tweets, ... from a given > paper on Lirias(@mire's DSpace at KULeuven).

Related Articles outside the instance would be interesting. Especially if it comes from another service. I know Stuart Lewis explored this recently, but encountered issues with licensing against certain API. It would be important to consider sources in the integration. Cheers, Mark -- Mark R.
