It's worth mentioning that despite overlap in functionality, every ILS out there--open source or proprietary--has different feature sets, and we really don't want just one system to try to be all things to all users, nor do we want to take a small handful and try to pigeon-hole them into specific niches. I'm all for making Evergreen more attractive as far as polish, usability, QA, etc. goes, but I'm not for adding features for the sake of marketing, or for the mythical notion of being "feature complete". -- Jason Etheridge | Support Manager | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
