I guess you are talking about the current JSP User Interface. I have had a similar thought regarding a more generalized way to apply style sheets. My idea was to make the interface compatible with YAML for that purpose. But this still leaves all kind of interactive behaviour possible by javascript as rudimentary as it is now (kind of old-fashioned one could call it). There your proposal comes in handy. Yesterday, I put a note like this in the comments to <http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Talk:WebApplicationFrameworks> Which are the kinds of behaviour you want to add? Is there a mockup or do you have just some sample pages you like and you could comment (like look at http://xyz.com and see how they format tables in a nice way, we could apply that to the item view page or something like that)? I dont have compiled such a list for the things I would like to see changed, but I will undoubtedly create something like that on my way. The things that come to my mind when it comes to Ajax are a kind of watchlist to keep items for revisit and further investigation; a comparison view for two or more items and a neat tabbed interface to break down loads of metadata per object or configurable "show only these fields" kind of thing. It could also be of use for commenting stuff. But seems to be all a lot of work. Do you have already some idea of how much work this will be? I think it will be quite a lot. Do you think it makes sense to put work into the jsp stuff if manakin is going to take over soon? I think so, because the experience gathered will help. On the other hand, with manakin, you probably dont touch Java code to do this, but XSLT transformers only. Are you sure that AjaxTags is the right choice? Are there other options that you investigated? I havent done it yet for my idea, but it is rather fresh -from this week-, so I am open to any suggestions. What is available out there as a proven CSS layout framework that is cross browser compatible besides YAML? Regarding Ajax and JavaScript, I know even less about this compared to CSS, so now hints for you, sorry. I will be rather slow with this as I am working on our Repository less then a day per week, so it might take weeks before I come back to this issue. Let it keep in mind and update each other and the list about progress being made.
