[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: Staff client software vs. web-based interface

[Ben Shum]

I just updated the link for "Installing Evergreen on Mac" on the 
downloads page to point at 
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_client#building_a_macintosh_staff_client

It's a slightly newer set of instructions that Mike Peters recently 
helped to put together.  We'll probably want to flesh out some more 
specific details regarding compatible xulrunner versions based on 
version of Evergreen.
