This is an outstanding point and one I was trying to feel my way
through in a conversation Karen C. and I were having about needs
assessment earlier today. This is also one of Paul Weiss' original
points from his document a couple of months ago. We need a better
environment for housing/transforming the source XML -- one that might
even afford workflows that are congruent with the predominant
skillsets in our community. Plus this implies one large, consistent,
unified "wrapper" for the Evergreen community versus two sites,
evergreen-ils.org and the Dokuwiki instance.
