[Dspace-general] ResearchArchive@Victoria implements Manakin in time for St Patrick's day

Neat! Let's see the code! Um, have we got an Aspect repository anywhere?

Ditto. What I've got is on the XSLT side, but I can do some
possibly-useful things:

- make authors and subjects clickable on item and browse pages
- recreate the "current" class that out-of-the-box JSP had in the navigation bar
- put community/collection logos in the <h1> (instead of 'way down in
the comm/coll info)

Congrats on the launch! We're waiting for 1.5 to go gold before we
move to Manakin.
