We're upgrading soon from DSpace 1.x to 4.x and I'm looking forward to it. When we update I'd like improve our user experience. I'd like to be inspired by some good examples. Are there DSpace instances I could see that you'd recommend for inspiration in terms of look and feel, design and features?
We'd also like to update our workflows so we can triage and navigate incoming items as well as put records in a holding place to be updated before being made visible: e.g. User sends through a manuscript at acceptance with minimal metadata, we process this at the time and keep it somewhere private. Then perhaps months later, when the item is published, we update the metadata, possibly the manuscript (e.g. to a CC-BY Gold copy) and make it visible (perhaps with an embargo on the full text). We don't currently do much of this 2-phase sort of work. What would work best in DSpace 4? Can we put processed items in a separate pool or mark them as done and filter them in/out? Should we instead put them in a hidden collection if such as thing is possible? Can they be processed but embargoed (both data and metadata) and then gone back to later from a list? I'm more than happy to be pointed at tutorials, specific documentation, examples etc. for further reading or be directed to a more suitable forum.
