Glenn, Randall's right, it really is dependent on your goals and skills. If your staff is more comfortable with the JSPUI, then it might be best to upgrade to the new JSPUI. However, if you have a few XML/XSLT/CSS savvy folks, you may find that the XMLUI is a bit more dynamic and allows you to completely change the look & feel of DSpace. But, it will take a lot of work/time to create your first XMLUI theme(s)...unless you basically just go with the out-of-the-box look and feel.
Another option worth considering is that you don't have to move to the XMLUI immediately. You could always upgrade to the 1.5.x JSPUI first (since that's what you are used to from 1.4.x), and then take time to learn more about the XMLUI and begin designing your own theme. - Tim Floyd, Randall Dean wrote: > The quick answer to that is that it depends on both your local > organization's goals and resident skills.
