Hi Peter
Thanks for the comments.
Will the github be discussed amongst the community and will there be
documentation on the wiki and website ?
Cheers

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

and a book reader
<http://picasaweb.google.com/pdietz84/OSULibraries#5516829985128321794> /
page turner.

Hi All
For those interested here is a link to our theme files.
See: http://staff.lib.sun.ac.za/~hgibson/files/SCHOLAR.tar.gz
<http://staff.lib.sun.ac.za/%7Ehgibson/files/SCHOLAR.tar.gz>
These are from the webapp modules folder.
All are welcome to use it.
We did a mod to remove the login and search on the front page.
See:
http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Asset_Presentation#Structural_changes
And the result is: http://scholar.sun.ac.za
Perhaps a space somewhere officially can be created to address
design and styling ?
Cheers
