DSpace 7.0 Features (in Progress)

DSpace 7.0 release will concentrate on two primary features:

  1. A new User Interface based on Angular 2 (to replace XMLUI and JSPUI)
  2. A refactored/enhanced REST API (using modern REST best practices)

This work is actively taking place at: DSpace 7 UI Working Group  Please join us! Anyone is welcome to take part in building DSpace 7.

For much more information on the history behind these decisions, see DSpace 7 UI Project Plain Language Summary

Wishlist for DSpace 7.0 (not comprehensive)

The following is an (unordered) list of changes / new features that we'd like to see added to DSpace 67.0. If you have additional features to add, please feel free. We also NEED volunteers to make these features happen, so please do volunteer if you are willing to work on a particular change!  Please note that we reserve the right to reschedule/reject any feature that may not align well with the longer term RoadMap.

UUIDs are provided as part of the Service Based API refactor (see above)key,summary,type,created,updated,due,assignee,reporter,priority,status,resolution). The discussion went on and we finally have PRs waiting for review and merge regarding the following tickets:
