[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Information requests- websites

[Rogan Hamby]

We (York County also) are moving to a new Wordpress website.  We don't
imagine any interaction between the web site and Evergreen other than
search widgets but in theory it's possible to script interaction between
them (pull over hours to populate pages and things like that).  It's likely
to be more hassle than it's worth unless you have someone sitting around
who enjoys those kinds of scripting/coding projets though.
