Hello all,

Based on the recently approved Roadmap [1], we are about to kick off a new working group to oversee the DSpace User Interface (UI) replacement project. We are extending an invitation to any interested community members to join this working group or take part in UI pilots.

The working group will be of limited duration. Its mission is not to develop the replacement UI, but rather to manage the process of reviewing the alternatives, comparing brief pilot demonstrations, and establishing the selection process of an architecture and technology for the new UI. The work of developing the pilot UI demonstrations will be done by volunteers, and a call for pilot project teams will be made in the coming weeks. Members of the working group may choose to join one of the pilot teams, but that is not required.

The draft of the working group charter is available for you to review here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+UI+Working+Group

The first meeting of this UI Working Group will take place on Monday, August 10th at 15:00 UTC (11:00am EDT). Connection information is below.
