Thanks to Ben Shum for building the pertinent staff clients to go along
with these releases. I've uploaded them to evergreen-ils.org and updated
the downloads page on the website for the 2.0-RC1 release (it's the least
I can do!). I'll build a 2.0-RC1 virtual image and upload it at some
point, but don't hold your breath; it will probably take a while.

Hear hear! The 2.0 release cycle has drawn a wider circle of
contributors on all fronts to the project, and we're much stronger for
it. I'm really looking forward to 2011.
