Thanks for your swift reply Andrea, I should be more specific - I'm running DSpace 1.6.2 which I believe doesn't have the curation system in place yet (thankfully - that 'simple' system seems way too complicated for my feeble mind). I don't want to make changes to the item.
What I want to do is basically flag new/updated items, and store their details in a db for a specific export and processing operation at a later time. Could you give some more detail on the "Item+Install" event? In what class(es) would I find that/those?
