Please add your suggestions for GSoC 2011 projects related to DSpace! If you are interested in mentoring, please let us know! Also, be sure to visit the listing of Past GSoC Project Ideas below, to see if anything there is still relevant.

 
The below ideas are stubs that need lots of fleshing out: 

  • Enhanced RESTful API (with authN, authZ, write methods, etc) - Kim Shepherd
    • (building on previous years' projects)
  • New JSPs and CSS for JSPUI - Kim Shepherd
    • JSPUI needs a new default theme, and a spruce-up to the JSPs generally
  • Implement modular configuration - Kim Shepherd
    • DSpace's (mainly) single configuration file is unwieldy, hard to work with and even harder to merge with new releases.
      We need a conf.d/ style approach to modular configuration.
  • Enhancements to statistics - Kim Shepherd
    • Capture more event types
    • Produce site-wide reports to replace legacy statistics reports, with Google Charts integration, ability to email reports to repository administrators
  • Integrate RTMP A/V streaming using open source software (eg. RED5) - Kim Shepherd
    • Ability to stream mp3, mp4, avi, etc.
    • Must be able to authorize against DSpace and prevent unauthorised access to bitstreams
    • Streaming to clients (player) is the only requirement, no recording to server required
  • Add MySQL support (scripts, unit tests, code changes) - Kim Shepherd
    • Unit tests specific to MySQL
    • Update / install database scripts specific to MySQL, if needed
    • Ensure DatabaseManager code is generic or compliant with MySQL
