Hi, my repository managers are looking for reports on the contents of communities and collections, total items, kinds of items (articles, dissertations, web sites, etc.), formats of bitstreams, etc. I know: curation tasks are good for this sort of thing (in fact, one task already does bitstream format profiling), but, I'm thinking, if much of this data is in a DB, why not just run some SQL queries and get it that way? There used to be a Perl script (dspace-info.pl) that did this, but it didn't survive the move to a single DSpace script. So, anyway, before I go reinventing the wheel, I figured I'd better ask what everyone else is doing for this kind of reporting on the contents of their repositories? The audience for these reports would be the repository managers themselves, as well as community and collection managers, and other stakeholders, as well as for promotional purposes.
AND, if someone has a bundle of curation tasks that kinda-sorta fit the bill, it would be totally awesome to hear about that.
