Hello all,

In the weeks leading up to Open Repositories 2016 (and beyond), we will be posting regular, brief video updates of the work being done by the DSpace New User Interface (UI) Initiative team. We hope this will allow everyone to keep track of our progress, send feedback or even contribute to the initiative. Currently, our team consists of volunteers from Texas A&M, @mire, Cineca and DuraSpace. But we welcome others to join or contribute.

To kick off these updates, I've posted the first three short (5-10min) video updates:

 * How we got here: Review of the steps that led to this initiative,
   beginning with the UI Prototype Challenge in late 2015. This
   includes an overview of the later decision to perform an extended
   prototype on Angular 2: https://youtu.be/Pl2lkC5uwfs
     o More info on prototype challenge and timelines since then:
       https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+UI+Prototype+Challenge
 * Angular 2 UI Prototype Demo of Phase 1 tasks/goals:
   https://youtu.be/bvSJC2lj0OM
     o Phase 1 consisted of validating that we could build a basic
       DSpace read-only browse experience in the Angular 2 Javascript
       framework (https://angular.io/), and still have it be easily
       indexed by Google Scholar.
 * Angular 2 UI Prototype Demo, May 16 updates:
   https://youtu.be/iotRJnf0ICs
     o Phase 2 began in May, and its primary goal is to build a more
       DSpace-like, enhanced prototype to show off at the OR2016
       conference in June.

(NOTE: If the video initially appears blurry, use the video player quality settings to switch to 720p HD video playback)

Much more information on the Angular 2 UI Prototype can be found in its README at: https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/angular2-ui-prototype You can even take it for a test run locally, chip in, or follow along on the code progress via our Waffle board (https://waffle.io/DSpace-Labs/angular2-ui-prototype).

We'll keep posting these videos regularly to our lists as we lead up to OR2016. Feel free to let us know if there are topics you'd like to hear more about, or have feedback or questions. Just respond to this thread, and we'll do our best to answer them. These videos are also all listed in a public playlist at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLER-v9UmiFBut2SVfA2uUSuBFhSFnqlXh

Thanks,

Tim
