Stuart and Hayden, Aaron Zeckoski mentored Bojan Suzic on the GSoC project last summer that produced the code. I co-mentored.
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009_DSpace_REST_Webapp http://scm.dspace.org/trac/dspace/browser/modules/rest/branches/dspace-rest-1.x/ Aaron, Graham, Ben, and myself do maintain the DSpace 2.0 codebase that this version was based on here. http://scm.dspace.org/trac/dspace/browser/modules/rest/trunk So it is not exactly "unmaintained". Yes, it is a 'module' like the others and we have be working to create a means to manage all these projects in JIRA in the last couple weeks. Perhaps we should discuss how to approach creating Wiki/JIRA/Website sections for these modules so that more information is available on them as projects. I evaluated this code as the basis for a possible workpackage on a project recently, its important to understand it is based on past work that Aaron has done on Entity Broker and other projects he has worked on in the SAKAI community. Installation of the module into DSpace is a matter of adding it as a modules to your maven build and/or creating a webapp overlay project in your DSpace source. Of course, much of the details around building and installing such modules has yet to be produced, though there have been tutorials and presentations on the topic in the last year. That said, yes, we do need to have a dire need for developers contributing in areas such as this within the community. if you do have developers that would be interested in contributing to the rest codebase, they are certainly welcome here.
