[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Server-side OPAC development project: an introduction

[Tara Robertson]

Hi Bill,

This is super exciting!

What's the timeline for this (likely) being merged into Evergreen?

I'm at an art and design university that will be going live on Evergreen in
late spring. While it might seem trivial and frivolous to some, how the OPAC
looks is almost as important as how it functions. We were unbelievably
excited about the promise of the KCLS skin. It's super exciting to hear
about the development work that's going on to make the OPAC look pretty and
load faster.

Yay!
