Hi All, First off, I wanted to state that this DSpace-CRIS work done by HKU and CILEA all sounds very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing the code when it is released to their GitHub.
In case there were any misunderstandings around the previous email, nearly all of the DSpace-CRIS functionality will unfortunately not be available in the upcoming DSpace 3.0 release. Although, one minor exception is that CILEA has contributed the basic JSPUI Faceted Search functionality for DSpace 3.0. This new functionality will essentially allow users to run the DSpace Discovery search engine (based on Apache Solr) in either XMLUI or JSPUI (previously it was only available in the XMLUI). That all being said, I know the Committers (and DuraSpace) are hopeful that we can see many of these DSpace-CRIS features made available in a future version of DSpace (whether out-of-the-box or as optional add-ons). Having talked with folks at CILEA, I know that there is hope to make DSpace-CRIS compatible with DSpace 3.0 sometime in early 2013. So, it seems likely that the updated DSpace-CRIS code may be submitted for approval before our DSpace 4.0 submission deadlines next year (likely to be sometime in Aug/Sept 2013). == General Reminder about DSpace Code Contributions == As a general reminder, if you or your institution has been doing some interesting customization work with DSpace, you are more than welcome to submit your code for approval in a future release. These submissions can be made at any time throughout the year. However, the Committers obviously must set submission deadlines around each new release (to ensure we have enough time to review existing submissions and also merge and stabilize all accepted code into the next release). Approval of code submissions takes place via a public vote, usually during our weekly developer meeting or on the dspace-devel mailing list. The Committers also try to consult with the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT) to ensure new features are of general interest. We do have published guidelines for how to submit your code or customization work: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines The better you are able to follow these guidelines, the more likely it is that we can add your work into a future release quickly! If any guidelines are unclear or you run into questions, let us know. We'd be more than happy to help clarify them. Finally, it is also worth pointing out that we are constantly adding new Committers (usually at a rate of a few per year). New Committers are voted in based on their contributions to the DSpace platform. So, chances are, if you submit customizations or new features, some day soon you may also be invited to join the group. Please feel free to get in touch with myself or any of the Committers if you have any questions. You may also send an email to one of our DSpace mailing lists, and we'll answer your questions there.
