Hello from UIUC, We have been running Vireo as our campus ETD system for a couple of years now, to great success. Ours is a separate instance of DSpace from our main repository, and still runs on 1.5.1. Although we have made a considerable amount of changes and customizations to Vireo, none have really affected the underlying DSpace code.
If you come up with a Vireo mod that runs on 1.7 or 1.8, would you be interested in offering it back to TDL? I cannot speak for them, but my guess is that your help would be welcomed. I know we would be interested in running Vireo on a more-recent version of DSpace, but we don't want to get too far away from the core Vireo codebase. It is already enough work keeping our customizations working whenever TDL pushes out a new feature or bug fix.

Looking over the patching that it does to DSpace, I think a lot of it consists of patches to DSpace 1.5 that were taken up into later releases, some nice extensions that were contributed to DSpace later, and Maven magic to separate the patched artifacts from stock. I think it might fit into 1.7.x/1.8.0 with considerably less patching, but I haven't gotten that far yet. -- Mark H.
