Hi Linda:

I had a few minutes this evening and tried the NKC examples and the
Library of Congress example that you gave (thanks for such a clear
description of the problem and such great sample data!); all of the
examples imported perfectly and get indexed properly; keyword searches
and title searches retrieve the records. So, good news on that front!

If you're wondering about the timing of Evergreen 2.0, we'll be
putting out a second alpha release of Evergreen 2.0 soon, with a beta
release expected in October, and then more betas until we stamp out
all of the bugs our determined testers find, hopefully resulting in a
final release in December or January. It would be great if you could
help us with some early testing of 2.0!
