Just would like to follow up this. We are currently under DSpace 1.7.2 and looking forward to upgrade to 3.0 once it is released next month. The current Google analytics stat within DSpace is on 1.8.2. We would like to work on the interface with XMLUI for it based on 3.0. However, it may depend on when the package is upgraded. It would be great to know the plan from the folks who are working on this project.
