Isn't there already an extant open-source ILS that's out there, and

I'm all for parallel approaches to problems... but the world of ILSes

OK, Code4Libbers, here's a question for y'all:
I've taken a new job at a brain imaging lab on campus. The details

before), but the problems they're trying to solve are things like

Hi all,
I was recently involved in a discussion about the mechanics of
running an open-source project over at Library Web Chic, and I've
come to the conclusion that for a project to succeed, it really needs
to have at least a small, dedicated community. A community of one is
no community at all
:)
For now, I'd suggest just joining the group. It's brand-new, but I'm
hoping that's where support questions and such would be asked -- as
opposed to my email alone. Just having a few other people see and
(maybe) reply to those would raise the project's truck number[1] up
above one.

Ugh. Both suck.
But.. FastCGI. I've never heard of anyone getting mod_ruby working
properly with Rails... I think it starts the entire stack for each
incoming request... which doesn't scale even if you're doing casual
development work.
