Thanks for asking the question! Since jspac is scheduled to be  
deprecated as of 2.3, I think it might be useful to identify which of  
those unsponsored pending features from  
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:opac:template-toolkit:plan&rev=1339016264 should be addressed before jspac is phased out. There are two that jump out at  
me:

* Display of public copy notes - it might seem to be minor, but public  
notes aren't really public if the public can't see them.

* Check for password strength at login and force change if password is weak.

There are several other items on that list that I would like to see  
eventually incorporated into tpac, but the above two features are  
basic things I think should be available before tpac becomes the  
default catalog for Evergreen.

Also, I didn't see the new xulrunner branch  
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/942134) in the links you  
sent out. Is that something that might be tested and committed in time  
for 2.3?

Thanks!
Kathy
