The majority of the benefit to an actual client compared to a web based

Besides what Thomas mentioned, are there any features that are possible with
a client, but impossible though an admin website in a regular web browser?
Originally, there was a sentiment against web apps by the librarians

When I say controlling the printer I mean configuring the printer
settings for a given print job and printing without user interaction.
Web browsers don't like pages printing themselves without users being

At this point I believe we are packaging Linux clients.
Mac clients are harder, as I don't think we can currently build them
on Linux easily. A lack of test machines for those of us working on
client building is another problem.
Also, when building Evergreen itself later versions do custom

Hi all,
I've got an OSX iMac to help volunteer with! I can't say I'm a OSX guru,
but really good at following instructions! If anyone wants to work with
me, I could probably devote some hours to helping out, at least testing,
etc. I think I've got Xcode (?) installed somewhere on my iMac
I should note that I'm running the Evergreen 2.1.1 client under Wineskin Winery
on Mac OS X Mountain Lion and it seems to work fine. In fact, it is more stable
running in this mode than trying to use one of the Mac clients I've found from
other folks.

I've got a couple of laptops sitting around running Lion and Mountain
Lion respectively. I've built my own client several times before but
fumbled around with it each time since I've never documented it well
or automated any part of it. I'd be willing to work with others on
improving
