[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Hashtag

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

I like egils better than evgils.  evgils looks too much like evil....whereas
egils makes me think more about equality and other lofty things.  And egils
is short.  And it will go nicely with the egconf11 hashtag.

Can I get some feedback on #egils?
