But it is also an evaluation based in false presuppositions. Its too bad that no one was there to let these folks know that they could continue on using the JSPUI version of DSpace 1.5 and that the migration process from 1.4 to 1.5 is well documented by the developers of the DSpace 1.5 release and that the majority of changes that did occurring 1.5 were to aid in institutions who had to maintain customized deployments of DSpace. Finally, the DSpace community is quite open and willing to assist in consultation on such migration issues. I find it troublesome when such misinformation is distributed, it really does a disservice to the community and to the institutions utilizing DSpace.
