[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Bibliomation has planted a seed - look at what's growing in Evergreen now!

[Ben Shum]

Hi Lori,

Good point about Launchpad.  Fortunately, the original problem was 
reported publicly back in April and discussed in IRC and other areas at 
length.  This is a link to the existing bug ticket on the subject: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/984963

Notably, that bug ticket doesn't include the word "Syndetics" in the 
title, but that was because we were trying to be inclusive since when we 
first made the report, we did not know all the available added content 
providers currently employed by Evergreen libraries or what scope we 
were aiming for.
