Kelvin’s working on our DSpace install, wading through the documentation and nutting out integration issues. We paid a visit to the University of Bristol repository people on Friday afternoon, and I think this helped a lot. They’ve been in the repository game a lot longer, and Naveed, their tech support has implemented a lot of tweaks, including a patch for metadata only records which DSpace apparently doesn’t support. Again, being able to meet face to face with colleagues who have already been down this road is just invaluable.
I’m yet to find anywhere that has linked up their research expertise database with their full-text repository. Can the two not co-exist!?

I think the patch for the non-text submission (as far as I can work out) was implemented by someone else. I don’t recall Naveed claiming he wrote it, but certainly mentioned that there was a patch.
It’s now part of a facility for customising the submission form.
It also appears that the submission form customisation will be included in version 1.5 of DSpace.
I’m trying to get this patch installed right now
