Overview and General Architecture/Philosophy

Islandora 7 Core

Menu System

Islandora 7 Menu Paths I think that we should replace fedora_repository with islandora in islandora 7. It does pose a migration issue however. The question is do we register both menu paths or do we make a clean break.

• admin/settings/islandora The main islandora admin page. Has all the options for core islandora. We could continue using the tabbed interface and allow other islandora modules to expand this page by adding their own menu paths and display them in tabs. I think this is a reasonable way to handle solution packs. We will have a solution pack module that adds to this path, like admin/settings/fedora_repository/demoobjects in islandora 6.

Coding Best Practices (global conventions)

Every module must have a read-me

If it installs something, it must have an install file
