Hi Dorothea! (copy to the General list)
My 2 cents on submission:
1) Submission should be named Contribution (more positive, more Web 2
minded!)
2) Librarians do not understand why record update should be different
from submission! They would appreciate to be "helped" (menus,
validations) when updating the same way contributors are helped during
submission. (Current update form can be retained for more extraordinary
updates)
3) Submission is not multilingual now (I had to modify it locally in
depth for this): some fields (like title) must be entered in multiple
languages in Quebec, Belgium, etc.
4) Dynamic Authority lists are essentials (collections, subjects,
authors, etc.): this mean some way to manage authority lists is needed.
I am working on this by using dedicated collections for each Authority
list we have to manage. The trick is to store only the handle of the
linked item (entry in the authority list) but to index and display the
dc.titles of the linked item (the name of the subject, authors, etc. and
its synonyms: dc.title.alternative)
Have a nice day!

This week's question is about the DSpace submission and workflow
process. What works? What doesn't? What do you do at your institution
that the DSpace workflow doesn't account for? What would an ideal set
of processes (because there's rarely just one) look like?
Because the submission process changed considerably in 1.5 owing to
the Configurable Submission patch, please mention which version of
DSpace you are running on.
I apologize for not running a chat last week -- I'm under the gun as
regards our 1.5 rollout. I will run a chat on this week's question,
Wednesday 17 September at 10 am CT, 11 am ET, 4 pm GMT. I will not be
able to run a chat on the 24th owing to a must-attend meeting; if
anyone's willing to facilitate in my place, please let me know -- feel
free to suggest a question as well!
Dorothea
