Hi Mika, This clever little trick was discussed at a Dspace user group meeting at OR 09, and I think the consensus was that it was such a useful workaround to the Dspace 1.x problem of "communites/collections don't have metadata", that it probably deserves a mention -- and maybe sample Manakin/JSPUI templates -- on the wiki somewhere. Would you be OK supplying a few examples based on your implementation of this idea?
