Hi Helix, What are the consequences for future developments of one of these API's getting into 'core' DSpace now?
If a new API would come along - in a year or so - does it need to be compatible with the one getting into DSpace now? Or should all developments in future be done one the one API? We are using both Wijiti and Hedtek and are not completely happy with either. For once run a GET on all items on a repository with enough content and your Tomcat can easily run out of memory and die. Not very suitable for a service environment.
