I agree that it's important to be able to show prospective users some examples of "this is as easy as it gets". However it might be useful to show some of the range of possibilities, so that people can get a realistic idea of which kinds customizations are easy, which are costly but readily doable given sufficient resources, and which are downright difficult.
Also, is there a central directory page of popular (finished) patches that add visible functionality? That would be another way to help people evaluate DSpace w.r.t. their requirements, by (among other things) showing how much work is involved in different kinds of alterations. I don't visit the wiki often enough, but my impression has been that work-in-progress and completed projects are jumbled together, probably because when projects are completed they just stay on the page and stop getting updates. Regularly moving released mod.s to a "released projects" page would help to make it clear what you can just plug in now and what you may be able to help develop, which is an important distinction depending on your needs and resources. -- Mark H.
