Bug Description

URL:
http://open-ils.org

Description:
Evergreen is an enterprise-class library automation system that helps library patrons find library materials, and helps libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those materials, no matter how large or complex the libraries. As a community, our development requirements are that Evergreen must be:

    * Stable, even under extreme load.
    * Robust, and capable of handling a high volume of transactions and simultaneous users.
    * Flexible, to accommodate the varied needs of libraries.
    * Secure, to protect our patrons' privacy and data.
    * User-friendly, to facilitate patron and staff use of the system.

Server and Clients
Evergreen has clients for Windows, Mac and Linux.
==============================
Notes to compilers

if you're building .deb packages for Evergreen please
give folks a heads up on the OPEN-ILS-DEV mailing list and ask for
feedback: http://evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php

There are developers changing the way Evergreen gets built to make use
of Autotools, that might impact what you're doing. There are also
known issues with xulrunner and the staff client on the latest Ubuntu.
