On February 28, 2017, we held a DuraSpace Hot Topics webinar to discuss the latest activities of this Working Group, with details from both the Angular UI and REST API subteams. The slides and video of that Hot Topics webinar are available at http://duraspace.org/node/3103 We've also provided a high-level summary of current status (based on the webinar) 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 is to create a new, single User Interface (UI) for DSpace 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. This working group is split into two subteams: an Angular Subteam, led by Art Lowel (Atmire), which is concentrating on building a modern, responsive, client-side user interface using Angular and a REST API Subteam, led by Andrea Bollini (4Science), which is concentrating on building a new REST API based on state-of-art technologies, standards and best practices.

- /dspace/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
- We also have our own DSpace 7 Working Group Processes document to provide additional details about our meeting structure, code contribution & review processes, etc.
- Join one of our weekly meetings (see below). Meetings tend to be hands-on, but we welcome newcomers.
- Join our Slack channel(s) (see below). We use Slack as a way to stay in touch each day (between our weekly meetings)
- Developers are welcome to jump in and claim tickets for either Angular UI or REST API. We maintain a list of easier tickets specifically for new developers to learn about the contribution process (See the "good first issue" label for Angular UI or REST)
- All upcoming DSpace 7 releases have a GitHub project board detailing progress & which tickets we'd like to complete for each release: https://github.com/orgs/DSpace/projects
Meeting Times & Communication Channels
- Meetings: We meet every week on Thurs at 15:00UTC (11am EDT), alternating (every other week) between text chat meetings (on Slack) and Google Hangouts. Anyone (see schedule below), using the DSpace Zoom Meeting Room (using Slack as a backchannel). Anyone is welcome to join these meetings.
- Upcoming schedule can be found on the DuraSpace DSpace Public Events Calendar (iCal , RSS Feedversion)
- Meetings typically last only one hour (first 1/2 hour concentrates on Angular UI updates/discussion, and the second 1/2 hour on REST API).
- Meeting notes are all available below.
- . We post a weekly reminder on our Slack channels (see below), along with a brief agenda.

How to install locally
Please be aware that this all is work in progress and will change often. As we did not release any version (neither an alpha or beta version) yet, there is no stable state to which we can refer to. Nevertheless let us give you some short hints on what you can do to install your own local version:
- Install DSpace 6, create some communities, collections and archive some items. As DSpace 7 is still work in progress it will be good to have some test material in place.
- Shutdown you servlet container and undeploy all previous DSpace UIs
- Compile the current master (https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master) and run ant update as usual
- Deploy the webapp dspace-spring-rest as dspace-spring-rest (if you use another path, you may want to change the index.html file withing the webapp)
- Start your servlet container and take a look into its logfiles
- If you have problems deploying the webapp in cause for slf4j and log4j, it may be necessary to delete [dspace]/webapps/spring-rest/WEB-INF/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.22.jar
- Test if dspace-spring-rest was loaded successfully by opening it in a browser. You can compare it to the demo linked above.
- Install dspace-angular. You can try it as described in the OR2017 DSpace Angular Workshop or take a look into the Readme.md in the dspace-angular git repository.
