[edit] Guides for Customizing DSpace

DSpace how-to guide: tips and tricks for managing common DSpace chores (by Dorothea Salo and Tim Donohue), available at http://hdl.handle.net/2142/11 and http://hdl.handle.net/1920/1045 - This short booklet is intended to introduce the commonest non-obvious customization-related tasks for newcomers to DSpace administration. It has been written against the current stable version 1.3.2 of DSpace. It's meant to be usable across all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac). For even more information, slides are available from their "Making DSpace Your Own" Tutorial at JCDL 2006 on the DSpace Presentations page.

An overall reference for developing code with DSpace (and creating patches) is available on the Guide for Developing with DSpace page.
DSpace Developers Documentation (by Richard Jones) - A general guide to some common objects and methods of doing things with the DSpace source code. It is not a complete guide, and it covers parts of both 1.3.2 and 1.4 (CVS version around March 2006); check your javadocs for definitive method calls.
