[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Craftsman skin deprecated and removed for 2.1

[Grant Johnson]

Hey Gaylen...
Has there been movement to resolve the 'white screen' issues often found in
the 1.6, 2.x versions?

This may have been addressed aready... I have been out of the loop... but am
always interested.  There was talk about an OPAC rebuilt a year ago...or so.

Cheers
Grant Johnson
