[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Firefox Remote XUL and future of StaffClient.

[Kathy Lussier]

I do think the community will respond/is responding to a call for help. 
MassLNC is sponsoring a software evaluation that, among other things, 
will evaluate and come up with recommendations for the staff client.

Unfortunately, we have had some delays in the project, not due to any 
negligence on the part of the consultant, but due to problems MassLNC 
has encountered setting up the test environment. We're seeing the light 
at the end of the tunnel and expect the evaluation to begin shortly, but 
that still leaves another 2 1/2 months before the evaluation is done.

I know my organization is willing to contribute resources to a new staff 
client or to other performance improvements that come out of the 
evaluation, and I believe others in the community are willing to do the 
same. I just would like to see some evaluation first that explores the 
source of our problems and has some recommendations for the best 
approach for moving forward.
