Hello all,<br>
<br>
As many of the core DSpace developers have been concentrating their
efforts on upcoming DSpace 5.4 and 6.0 releases (links below), we've
decided to extend the deadline for UI prototype submissions to <b>Friday,
December 4</b>. We still ask that you only spend a maximum of 80
hours on your prototype (full guidelines are included below). You
are welcome to submit your prototype prior to the new deadline, if
it is already nearing completion.<br>
<br>
If there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.<br>

us discover the technology/platform for our new user interface

In time for DSpace 7.0 (late 2016), the plan is to develop a
new (single) UI for DSpace that will replace our aging JSPUI
and XMLUI interfaces. (See <a href="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/RoadMap" target="_blank">RoadMap</a>)</span></li>

The goal of the "UI Prototype Challenge" is to give everyone
a chance to show off what you feel may make a great
replacement UI framework. Have a cool idea for what would
make a better DSpace UI? This is your chance to show it off
in 80 hours or less! Register your idea on <a href="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+UI+Prototype+Challenge#DSpaceUIPrototypeChallenge-PrototypeSign-Up" target="_blank">our
sign-up page</a> to find other collaborators.<br>

Prototypes / proof-of-concepts are due by <b>Friday, Dec 4</b>.
At that time, all will undergo a public review period. We
will work with Committers, DCAT, Steering and Leadership
Groups to select a "best of class" platform to build the new
DSpace UI. Even incomplete proof-of-concepts are useful to
submit, as we are judging the suitability of the *platform*
and not the flashiness of the prototype itself.<br>

do I win?</b> While there are no official prizes (at this
