[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] generic training serverwith predictable data

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

Hi All,

I wanted to tell you why I dropped this thread...turns out Equinox keeps a
training server available 24/7 that is refreshed daily.  So we do have a way
to get at a data set that will be the same today and tomorrow if you want to
use it for your trainings.

That said....I don't know where it is.  Anyone else have the URL?
