--------------------------------

Scott,

I was just looking at how I would go about getting the request copy 
functionality working in the xmlui environment, and I can see that it is not 
going to be a trivial thing, since most of the changes are in the interface 
itself.  And I'm trying to decide whether I should wait for your patch, or 
attempt making the change myself.  I have a few months before we start using 
the xmlui in production, so it might be advantages for me to wait for the patch 
and work on other things.  Do you have any idea when this patch might become 
available?


Thank you!  Jose

> The University of Minho developed a patch that gives this functionality in 
> JSPUI:  https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/RequestCopy .  
> In implementing it for the XMLUI, I would like to alter the functionality so 
> that the process looks something like:
>  a.  User clicks on restricted item link
>  b.  System responds with current behavior, adding a link/button to request 
> privs to view item
>  c.  Clicking link to request privs to view item sends e-mail to author of 
> item: includes Yes or No options
>  d.  Clicking yes sends e-mail to User with link to view item
>  e.  Clicking on link creates 'ghost' group with read access to item, 
> including associated bitstreams.  (Probably time-limited; one month?)
> This process would improve on the original process of sending the bitstreams 
> to the User via e-mail; large documents often exceed outgoing mail limits, or 
> incoming mailbox size restrictions.  However, it also presents possible 
> problems in trying to bypass the authorization system.
> I'm just starting to trace paths into the guts of XMLUI, so the general 
> process is still in flux.  I'd welcome any input, particularly regarding how 
> to temporarily grant viewing privs to the restricted bitstreams.
