Hi Hilton,
Actually, I really like your idea of having a place to share themes and
designs. Its definitely a feature I want to improve in the next release. At
OR'10 I was chatting with Stuart Lewis about possibly setting up a theme
design competition, perhaps something of a Wordpress themes gallery, but for
DSpace / XMLUI. I, however dropped the ball on that one, and haven't
mobilized an effort to formalize things to get that going.
I would say a good space to address design and styling would be GitHub.
Rather than uploading zip's and tar's, I think being able to be see, and
share code would be a good way to go. I think Git might be the better way to
go on this one because it doesn't involve setting up commit rights for
people to share their xmlui designs. You can just fork the xmlui-webapp
repository, have your own copy, which you can then merge your local
customization in, and see what others have done.
I've setup a dummy organization page for DSpace on Github for this
experiment, and hopefully it works out.
I've added the 1.6.2 tag of the XMLUI webapp to:
http://github.com/DSpace/xmlui-webapp
If you look at the network
graph<http://github.com/DSpace/xmlui-webapp/network>you can see
everyone else who has forked it, and has added their
contributions/customizations. In this case, you can see that I've added my
organization's xmlui development code
(osulibraries<http://github.com/osulibraries/xmlui-webapp>),
as I've forked the project, added our customizations, and pushed it back to
Github. It sort of shows a timeline of changes between things.
Enhancements in our xmlui project is an image
gallery<http://picasaweb.google.com/pdietz84/OSULibraries#5469790103358361778>,
and a book
reader<http://picasaweb.google.com/pdietz84/OSULibraries#5516829985128321794>/
page turner.
