+DSpace consists of both a Java-based backend and an Angular-based frontend.
-:warning: **Work on DSpace 7 has begun on our `main` branch.** This means that there is NO user interface on this `main` branch. DSpace 7 will feature a new, unified [Angular](https://angular.io/) user interface, along with an enhanced, rebuilt REST API. The latest status of this work can be found on the [DSpace 7 Working Group](https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+7+Working+Group) page.  Additionally, the codebases can be found in the following places:
-  * DSpace 7 REST API work is occurring on the [`main` branch](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/main/dspace-server-webapp) of this repository.
-     * The REST Contract is at https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract
-  * DSpace 7 Angular UI work is occurring at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular
 
-**If you would like to get involved in our DSpace 7 development effort, we welcome new contributors.** Just join one of our meetings or get in touch via Slack. See the [DSpace 7 Working Group](https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+7+Working+Group) wiki page for more info.
+* Backend (this codebase) provides a REST API, along with other machine-based interfaces (e.g. OAI-PMH, SWORD, etc)
+    * The REST Contract is at https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract
+* Frontend (https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/) is the User Interface built on the REST API
 
-**If you are looking for the ongoing maintenance work for DSpace 6 (or prior releases)**, you can find that work on the corresponding maintenance branch (e.g. [`dspace-6_x`](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/dspace-6_x)) in this repository.
+Prior versions of DSpace (v6.x and below) used two different UIs (XMLUI and JSPUI). Those UIs are no longer supported in v7 (and above).

+* A maintenance branch for older versions is still available, see `dspace-6_x` for 6.x maintenance.
