[Dspace-general] Displaying, browsing and searching DSpace records in a CMS

[Mr Havercamp]

For anyone interested; we have been developing a series of extensions 
for Joomla! that will enable admins and users to display, browse and 
search DSpace records in the Joomla! CMS. Using the OAI and SRW/U we 
have been successful in displaying individual records and related items 
in Joomla! and have provided the plug-ins, components and modules under 
a free and open source license.

If anyone is interested in using or improving on the suite of 
extensions, feel free to check them out on the Joomla! forge; 
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/j-car/. It is currently in beta release 
and as yet there is no user documentation although we are hoping to 
remedy this within the next couple of weeks (just a matter of finding 
the time at this stage).

We are hoping to develop a Drupal version of the extensions in the very 
near future and will provide a roadmap for both Joomla! and Drupal 
suites to provide users with possible development directions.

Regards


Hayden
