I think we could move some of the code to the Innovative Driver. We just need to figure out how to split things up correctly so there will be a little bit of work for us. CJ will be coming to the conference this week and one of the things we want to discuss is how we can share code for individual features more easily when our code base has a number of new features in it. Hopefully, you can develop some good strategies while he is there and I'd be happy to join a WebEx or conference call if needed to hash out ideas. - Mark On 9/13/2010 6:22 AM, Demian Katz wrote: > If the code is standard enough to work with the trunk, I'd be happy to add it there so everyone can take advantage of it. > > - Demian > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Mark Noble [mailto:mn...@tu...] >> Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 4:56 PM >> To: Walker, David >> Cc: vuf...@li... >> Subject: Re: [VuFind-Tech] III driver WAS: Multi-volume sets >> >> Dave, >> We are loading information from the Millennium OPAC using screen >> scraping and then reformatting the information for redisplay within >> VuFind.
