Mika, One of the primary reasons behind the configurable submission was an attempt to make it much easier to create your own custom "steps", and add those into your local submission process. More on this at:
http://dspace.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/dspace/trunk/dspace/docs/submission.html#createStep (The above link is just a direct link to the [dspace]/docs/submission.html file which will come with DSpace 1.5) So, you are correct that currently there are separate "upload" and "describe/metadata" steps. But, eventually, someone could try to combine them into a single custom step. I don't have any particular plans for this in the future, but others out there may (and are welcome to take it on). - Tim Mika Stenberg wrote: > Im still hoping to get rid of a separate file upload page on submission > process.
