Jim Ottaviani commented on DS-164:
----------------------------------
DGOC reviewed this on 2 Nov 2010, and while its status is not 100% clear to us,
it doesn't appear to have progressed substantially since 2009's Google Summer
of Code
<https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Google+Summer+of+Code+2009+Submission+Enhancements>.
Nevertheless, this would be a welcome change to the current functionality,
which requires DSpace collection managers to have XML skills to deal with what
can quickly become a very large and unwieldy input-forms.xml document. As a
result, this is a barrier to new DSpace users who often can't/don't customize
as desired for fear of breaking this file (and thus bring down submission
capability altogether for their installation) with a single syntax error or
missing bit of punctuation. We recommend this receive a boost in priority, and
if possible build on the GSoC work to implement it in a near-future release,
since it would have a high impact on usability.

> Key: DS-164
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-164
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Charles Kiplagat
> Priority: Major
>
> Suggestions included: a web interface for altering input-forms.xml, being
> able to select an input form "on the fly" based on the type of item being
> deposited, a web interface to the Configurable Submission System, eliminating
> the need to restart the server after changes to input-forms.xml and the
> Configurable Submission System, allowing more configuration (e.g.
> input-forms.xml, Configurable Submission) and command-line actions (e.g.
> batch imports) to be pushed down to community and collection administrators,
> allowing metadata specific to an eperson (e.g. name, metadata fields to
> exclude) to be stored in that eperson's profile, It was noted that the lack
> of a web interface to many DSpace configuration files means that repository
> managers who are not also systems administrators may not be able to configure
> their installations fully.
