[Dspace-general] What's working and what isn't?

[Christina Richison]

DSpace Community, 

 

To address Dorothea's excellent question, I have the following to offer:

 

What is working?

1.      I like being able to add thumbnails through the jpeg media
filter. A little something that makes life easier.

2.      I like the fuzzy search feature. More information can be found
here: 
http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html#Fuzzy%20Search
es 

3.      I like the DSpace hierarchy and the option of creating
sub-communities within sub-communities.

 

What isn't working?

1.      Moving Communities, Collections, and Items: It would be nice to
drag and drop these components into new homes instead of going through
an export/import process. An example, it makes more sense to my
department to move Collection B from Subcommunity A into Subcommunity B.
I don't want to go through the export/import process with the
appropriate XML file structure to accomplish this task. 

2.      Default Naming of Groups: It is easy to get "lost" when working
with Authorization Groups. For example, I don't remember what collection
327 is. The following screen shots displays some groups for which I am
an authorizing member. Now what exactly are they? The default should
help clarify this not make me work to clarify.

 

 

All the best,
