Dear All,
I think the functionality/feature suggested by Stevan Harnad is very
relevant and useful for IR's.
We are already registering the emails of authors in the submission process
(we have customized the submission forms - see attached snapshot), but we
didn't made it mandatory (a required field) to avoid unnecessary keystrokes
when the depositor is the author (or one of the authors).
We are interested in developing the "request a copy by email to the author"
feature (but we are still analysing how we will implement it in DSpace), and
planning to start doing it in the coming week. Is anyone else working on
this, or planning to do it?
Best Regards,
Eloy Rodrigues

Hi Stevan,
Thanks for the suggestions. It's not really up to me whether they get
implemented or not, because DSpace has a very different development model
than more centralised projects like Eprints or FEDORA. I don't have a team
of developers who I can direct to work on particular features; people
develop features to fit their local needs (hopefully in a way that can be
generalised to help others), and contribute them back to DSpace. So what
you need to do is find someone who shares this need and who has developer
resources to make the necessary changes (or find developer resources
yourself!). (Before starting implementation, it's strongly advised to run
the design by the DSpace developer list, to make sure no one is already
working on the feature, and to maximise the chances that the design can be
fitted into the main DSpace code).
Rob

Hi everyone,
We have had a really positive response to DSpace from our institutional
users, so much so that we have to improve our statistics reporting.
So far we have implemented the statistics plugin available to DSpace
users in SourceForge.

Hi everyone,
We have had a really positive response to DSpace from our institutional
users, so much so that we have to improve our statistics reporting.
So far we have implemented the statistics plugin available to DSpace
users in SourceForge. We're looking into new more descriptive statistics
software packages and hoping for some feedback.
Do you like the statistics software you're using with DSpace? If so,
please send me an e-mail and let me know what it's called.
Thank you,
Shawna
