DSpace 4.0 New Look : Awesome

Salam all, After years working with DSpace software, i have to admit that the new default DSpace 4.0 interface design by cineca is awesome. It's simpler and what is more obvious is the color used by them (blue and green) make the interface is very pleasant for the eyes. Here, take a look at the new DSpace snapshot: 1) DSpace Home

2) Edit Profile

3) Administration Tools

Great work guys :)

Tagging & Tag Clouds

Salam guys,

Long time no write. Been very bz in this project. Anyway i got a task from a lecturer at UM to include a tagging function in DSpace @ UM. So i started to search for any clue regarding the task. I came to this website https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Tagging and i have to admits that this website and its author (Christophe Dupriez) helps me a lot. Long story short - i manage to complete the task given in 4 months(part-time). Here is the preview:

From this task, i learn that its not to hard to add new functions in existing DSpace source code. As long as you know java very well and you know the DSpace architecture you can add any functions you want easily. I also been given a task to 'make over' the DSpace @ UM looks. Here is the new looks :

It also has a new name : Theses @ UMalaya

Sounds 'macho' isn't it? Till my next writing (that i don't know when).. Adios..
