[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] generic training server with predictable data

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

Hi All,

I posted info about this idea and got a big 'ol nothing in response so I
wanted to try one more time to verify that it really is of no interest to
anyone.  Here's the idea....as one of the RSCEL projects, were thinking of
setting up a training server which would have a current version of Evergreen
loaded, would be accessible to anyone (much like the demo servers) but we'd
make sure we kept it totally current with one matching client software
download.

We'd also keep data in there that you could rely on being there for training
(so we'd have to refresh it on some regular basis).  Eventually, we'd
contribute some exercises that people could use in their training which
would use that training server and data.

The idea is that you would then not have to worry about how to train your
people on your own Evergreen server at the same time you were trying to get
ready to go live.

Also, by sharing the same data and server set-up, we could all contribute
training exercises.

So, if you think this would be useful or you think it would be a waste of
time...please advise.  Friendly amendments are also encouraged.  We want to
do something that helps people so if this wouldn't help anyone, we RSCELs
will focus our attention somewhere else!

Thanks for your feedback!
