Probably not a bad approach. Ross is onboard with it. Let me know if I can
help in anyway. (I can join you if you like, for discussing with either of
them.)

Sorry for cross-posting
Hello All,
I am please to announce the release of our Next-Gen library catalog
browser, VuFind. It is now officially open source code under the GPL and
hosted on Sourceforge. We have been working on the application for quite
some time now, almost a year, and for the past few months have been working
with some local schools to test the application and begin to build some
install scripts.
Currently out of the box the software works with the Voyager catalog, but
we are working on adding additional drivers to work with your favorite ILS!
Even Evergreen and Koha! (If you would like to volunteer to build an ILS
Driver, we would highly appreciate the contribution.)
Some of you may recall my presentation at Code4Lib 2007 on our initial
efforts of the software using a Native XML Database. Now using the power
of Apache Solr, the speeds are astonishing and as we all know, Apache Solr
really does rock!
Please have a look at our project website to download the software and you
can even try out a live demo of the software:
http://www.vufind.org/
We are currently in a beta stage of development with the software but hope
to have all necessary functionality completed by the end of the summer and
have a stable production release by the Fall semester. Please feel free to
sign up for the mailing list to let us know any thoughts you have on the
project and please report any bugs you encounter in testing, etc.
Enjoy!
Andrew
