What documentation is available?
Documentation for Hyku is a work in progress. More and more will be added to this wiki as we roll out the product in early-mid 2017. Here are links to existing documentation about Hyku and Hyrax that is useful and relevant in the meantime:
- Hyku
- Feature List
- Hyrax
- "What are Admin Sets?" and definitions of other key terms. Part of the Hyrax Developer Knowledge Base now under development.
- Hyrax UI Workflow Descriptions - describes a variety of typical user workflows in Hyrax, the Rails engine underlying Hyku.
- Administrative Sets and Workflow in Hyrax - technical documentation about the definition and implementation of workflow and administrative sets
What kind of technical support is available during the Beta Test?
The project team is available for questions throughout the test period. Check out the Communications and Support page for info about the various channels for contacting us, including the weekly virtual office hours. Since it is a Beta test, we expect to uncover bugs and holes in the documentation. The project team is looking forward to answer questions as they come up, but it is unlikely we will be able to address the issues immediately.

the HykuDirect hosted service pilot?
The Hyku Beta Test is an open opportunity for the community to try out the software as we get ready to release the first version of the application. The test will run through June 23, 2017.
At the same time, the Hydra-in-a-Box team is partnering with a small group of selected institutions to pilot a hosted service – called HykuDirect -- run by DuraSpace. The first pilots will begin in late May and run through the summer.
