As a small university library frustrated with current ILS vendor support and functionality, we'll definitely be keeping an eye on this. Suggestion: provide a way for people to donate cash to the development effort - not all libraries have the development staff but may be able to contribute some money towards development of the system. Perhaps a bounty system as is used by many other open source projects. Suggestions are made on development directions and people can vote for them and pledge cash. Once suitable money is raised for the item the development goes ahead. Keep up the good work .... finally there is a real alternative emerging for us :-) Regards Anthony. Great News !!

So time tables might not appear for a while, though all of this now builds on a working system, which was far from the case in the first wave of client/server solutions on the ILS landscape.

Good to see an institution with the smarts put some investment into something with a real future. Very good move for UWindsor.
