Background information on the DSpace 7 Release available at DSpace 7 UI Project Plain Language Summary. More information, including some FAQs available at DSpace Release 7.0 Status |
Scope & Objectives
The goal of this working group, led by Tim Donohue, is to create a new, single User Interface (UI) for DSpace using Angular 2, the platform that was identified as the most suitable by the DSpace UI Prototype Working Group. Code is on GitHub, that implements all functionality currently available in JSPUI and XMLUI. The UI will interact with DSpace core data through a completely new REST API to insure complete separation of the user layer from the data layer.

Deliverables
An Angular 2 web application that will run on top of the new REST API to replace XMLUI and JSPUI in DSpace 7
...
Frequency of meetings will be every other week, unless modified by the facilitator. Initial meetings may be more frequent. The working group have two sub-area of interest, the angular 2 UI itself and the build of the new REST API. The meeting will typically run for two hours one dedicated to the Angular 2 UI aspects and one hour to the REST API. The community is welcome to attend one or both meetings as by their interest.
The group will use the standard DSpace lists to communicate about both areas. When using a shared channel, start the subject line with “[new-UI]”, "[new-REST]" or something similar to distinguish content.
Meeting Notes are posted to the wiki below.
The facilitator for the Angular 2 UI is: Art Lowel (Atmire)
The facilitator for the new REST API is: Andrea Bollini (4Science)
Next Meeting
On 1st December from 3 PM to 5 PM (UTC). Angular the first hour, REST the second.
