Hi Lori,
Good point about Launchpad. Fortunately, the original problem was
reported publicly back in April and discussed in IRC and other areas at
length. This is a link to the existing bug ticket on the subject:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/984963
Notably, that bug ticket doesn't include the word "Syndetics" in the
title, but that was because we were trying to be inclusive since when we
first made the report, we did not know all the available added content
providers currently employed by Evergreen libraries or what scope we
were aiming for.

Huzzah! Sounds exciting!
But one thing...shouldn't the Launchpad entry as well as a "Bug" be
entered NOW so that everyone who doesn't see this email stands a
better chance of knowing this work is in the works? Even a skeletel
entry in Launchpad would be good. That's what I believe should happen
(and that is what I've been telling the new developers I work with to
do).
We also talked about putting development initiatives and RFPs in one
area so people could see what twinkles were in other library's eyes.
The only place I found for such a thing was
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=development_proposals
But the above link appears to contain primarily things the developers
put there for the GSOC project. And some of it is very old. I'm
wondering if we need to
a) update that page
b) make it less buried (i.e. a link off that same Community menu item
we are going to have? or should be under the Contribute menu?)
Thoughts?
Lori

Bowker with Template Toolkit OPAC (TPAC) in Evergreen
<http://open-ils.org/>. Equinox <http://esilibrary.com/esi/>
developers will be writing the code for this project. TPAC will
be able to support cover images, reviews, summaries, table of
contents, excerpts, and author notes from Syndetic Solutions.
Once the code is written, it will be submitted on launchpad
<https://launchpad.net/evergreen>, where another developer will
need to review and approve it. Once the code is signed off on by
another developer, then it can be submitted for inclusion in the
next major release of Evergreen. For more information, contact
