Hi Brian,
Not sure if you've had any responses to this, so I'll chip in with our
experiences . . .
When we originally set up our eTheses repository it was done on DSpace
v1.2.1 with the TAPIR plug-in (v0.3 I think) - we were only using the
system to enable students to deposit final versions of their theses
(i.e. we weren't using the supervisor workspaces etc).
Last year we upgraded to v1.3.2 - the TAPIR plug-in wasn't compatible
with this DSpace version at the time (don't know if that is still the
case), but we were able to replicate everything we wanted to do (pretty
much) with DSpace "out of the box" - the main thing was being able to
set up custom submission forms for our eTheses collections using the
"input-forms.xml" mechanism.
Don't know if that helps, but happy to attempt to answer any specific
questions you may have.
Regards,
Mike

Hello Everyone,
We're considering how to begin ingesting dissertations and theses into
DSpace. I've looked at the Tapir add-on, and it appears it would
suffice for our needs. I have a few questions, though.
First, we're running DSpace 1.4.0 (soon moving to 1.4.1), and it hasn't
(yet) been updated to work with it. (It looks like there are plans to
make it work with the coming AddOn Mech, but the fire's under my seat
now, so.)
Second, looking at the code, it appears that many things from the Tapir
add-on have made it into the core, but I'm not sure how much. Any info
there would be useful.
I know that things can move slowly, particularly if they need to get
done right, so I was wondering if there's a guess as to the timeline
involved. If it looks like it will be a relatively long time, and there
are no objections, I would be willing to look into twisting it to work
with DSpace 1.4.1.
Thanks in advance for any information out there.
