Needs early reviews/testing. Just adds initial sidebar & top menu. Not all links may work yet (will need to be wired up as components completed). No context menu yet, but that'd be a followup
Should NOT have major conflicts with other major efforts (like Submission UI), as this is new code/components
Tim asked about whether Admins should be able to create Items directly (bypassing workflow) via POST requests?
Others note this seems to already be possible in the Java API (via bulk CSV import?)
However, all agree that it's not a high priority
If this turns out to be complicated, we should drop POST from this endpoint. If it's easy enough, we can implement, but it should be restricted to Admins
Also POST needs to somehow take in the Collection, as you cannot create an Item without a Collection
Some disagreement over whether the approach of "null" EPersons is the proper one, or if it will turn into requiring more code than a "ghost user" would.
ALL will add comments/thoughts to DS-4036 so we can finalize a decision on whether "null" EPersons are OK or not.
OR2019 DSpace 7 Presentations
At OR2018 we had
Developer Workshop on DSpace 7 Angular UI development
Developer Workshop on DSpace 7 REST API
DSpace 7 Presentation (From Tim) with updates / demo of DSpace 7
We want to have a much larger presence at OR2019, preferably with more people giving presentations on different aspects of DSpace 7
Possible OR2019 Workshops
A General Workshop (for Users – Repo Mgrs and Developers) on Upgrading to DSpace 7 and customizing/configuring for local usage. (Possible Presenters: Tim Donohue?, Art Lowel?, Andrea Bollini?, others?)
20% of content from OR2018 DSpace 7 Angular workshop (how to customize UI with local theme)
20% of content from OR2018 DSpace 7 REST API workshop (quick overview of REST API, show it's browseable...no deep dive though)
60% would be new content, aimed towards users upgrading. What is new in DSpace 7? (Configurable Entities, new Submission/Workflow, etc) How do I upgrade? How do I add my local branding (to UI)?
DSpace + Docker Workshop. How to demo/play/develop with DSpace in Docker (both DSpace 6 and 7). (Presenters: Terry Brady & Pascal Becker)
Ideally this would not conflict with main DSpace 7 workshop, or we'd find a way to tailor each to different audiences.
Possible OR2019 Talks
General "Introducing DSpace 7" talk. What's in DSpace 7? Higher level overview, flashy demo, references to other "deep dive" talks. (Possible Presenters: Tim Donohue? Others?)
DSpace 7 - The Power of Configurable Entities. Overview of new feature, how to configure & customize your DSpace via Entities (Possible Presenters: Lieven Droogmans)
DSpace 7 - Enhanced Submission & Workflow. Overview of new features & deeper dive on configuring/customizing/using (Possible Presenters: Andrea Bollini? Others at 4Science?)
NEXT WEEK: Will discuss possible OR2019 workshops/talks in more detail and start to finalize.
(Did not discuss) DSpace 7 installation/customization process.
Attempted to set dates on all tasks scheduled for "Preview"
Tim updated the first column based on input from Andrea Bollini (4Science) (via email). A few now say "BETA (was Preview)" – these are tasks assigned to 4Science that Andrea feels won't be done in time for Preview. If we feel any must be in Preview release, we will need to reassign.
Tim to email Andrea Bollini (4Science)about adding dates to 4Science tasks scheduled for Preview release
