DSpace 7 UI project – plain language summary of the update webinar (slides/recording here: http://duraspace.org/hot-topics)


Call for proofs of concept in late 2015/early 2016 

OR2016 – presented a proof of concept for use of Angular2 + typescript + improved (re-built?) REST API

Since then… we delivered DSpace 6! 

And then we got back to the DSpace 7 project, and have been working on a framework for the new UI, meeting requirements set out by the use cases.  See the use cases here: 

Use case missing? Need more detail?  Get involved, here’s how:

What is Angular2? 

What is Typescript?

Why are we re-building the REST API (re-produce the slide showing the levels of REST, with an explanation of the limitations of where we are at the moment) – what improvements will I see as an admin?  My end users?

How are we using them to build the UI - a description, in plain English, of the potential that is provided by using the combination of Angular2 + Typescript + improved REST API

What have we done so far on this?

Project steps (doesn’t have to have dates, but something to indicate where in the process you feel you are up to) – would be good to provide something visual for this, rather than text as the page will be text heavy

I got from the call that this was still at the early stages – Tim used the phrase ‘building the frameworks’ I think – what does this mean in terms of the development roadmap?
