Regarding the LNI discussions, there's a ticket related to removing LNI from default DSpace. The suggestion is that we move it to its own separate GitHub project (and folks who want to use and maintain it still can). As far as I'm aware though, we have little (if any) users of LNI these days.
Here's that ticket: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2124 As noted in the ticket's comments, this topic was also discussed in a developer meeting on Sept 24, at which point Robin pointed out that PURE still uses LNI: http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2014-09-24 Hope that helps to fill in the gaps here. - Tim On 11/14/2014 4:50 AM, TAYLOR Robin wrote: > Hi helix84, > > Apologies, there were some discussions but I've just checked my emails and > realise they were not copied to any list but just between Hardy, myself and > Tim.
