Hi All, Greetings ! I was a GSoC student in 2011 who had worked in implementing JavaScript UI over DSpace REST API. Integrating Hydra with DSpace over its REST API seemed quite interesting to me, hence I explored a bit on the architecture of Hydra. I observed the following (refer https://wiki.du

I have an idea for something that ought to be fairly straightforward for a student to implement, but would have far-reaching implications for DSpace development, and would even help with REST-API testing. Now, it's not a novel idea or anything, but, I think we should incorporate a Maven Jetty plugi

Perhaps if we had more wood behind fewer arrows. (That's Larry Page speak for higher quality.) Call me crazy, but I would like to see (sanity check me please), a Hydra Head with DSpace as the backend. This gives us a Ruby on Rails app that is a consumer of our REST API. Peter Dietz On Tue, Feb
