[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Announcing new development in Evergreen

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

This is great news!  Thanks to PV Supa for sponsoring the work.  I would
like to ask that you use the Library Communication Framework (aka BLCF or
LCF) to guide your development.  The LCF has been developed by a British
entity (Book Industry Communication).  The draft document is available
here:  http://www.bic.org.uk/e4libraries/16/INTEROPERABILITY-STANDARDS/

I will provide more information about the LCF in a separate thread.
