[Dspace-tech] Creative Commons and XMLUI/JSPUI
I have a specific question followed by a more general question. We are running DSpace with the XMLUI interface. I want to activate Creative Commons within the submission process. I have identified the line in dspace.cfg that seems to pertain (webui.submit.enable-cc = true); however the documentation states that this will Enable the Creative Commons license step in the submission process for the JSPUI interface. In other words, it suggests that this only applies to the JSPUI interface but I can't find any reference to what should be done using the XMLUI interface. So that's my specific question. My general question relates to the relative merits of JSPUI versus XMLUI. We opted for XMLUI because of the obvious benefits Manakin brings to UI customization. As a project manager that is important to me; however, the sys admin responsible for our site complains that he is constantly running into JSPUI only references in documentation and code comments. He feels that XMLUI is a secondary manifestation that makes his job more challenging and exposes the deficiencies in documentation. Does anyone have recommendations about the long-term viability of the two flavours of DSpace? Is it a question of sacrificing my UI flexibility in order to have a system that is easier to maintain from the sys admin perspective? Any advice would be most welcome.

Re: [Dspace-tech] [Dspace-general] opening a collection to submission to all registered users
Thanks, Andrew. This is the approach I favoured and I have got it working finally but there were some inconsistencies (bugs?) that I thought I should document for the list. These issues are probably specific to dspace 1.5/xmlui/manakin. Initially I tried adding the anonymous group through the assign roles page under edit collection in the manakin interface. That didn't work. Then I went to edit authorization policies directly, which gives me different information from what I see on the assign roles page. So this is perhaps bug number 1. In any case, adding the anonymous group to the submitters group here still does not work. Curiously, when I would go to the collection home page there would be a submit a new item to this collection link but it would go to the submission page with no entry in the select a collection drop-down list. I still could not submit. Finally I added a new policy explicitly enabling anonymous to add. This worked. In other words, it was not working when I tried to add anonymous as a group within an existing submitters group, but it did work when I added a separate policy for anonymous. This probably relates to Kim's response dealing with stackable authentication but I haven't yet looked into that.
