I hate to allude to vaporware, but since it came up... we're quite
interested in supporting such a project, particularly among academic and
public libraries, starting next spring.  We've already begun discussions
with one of the large universities with which we have an affiliation.  Some
of you have seen at talks I've given in the last few months the software
tools we've developed for this kind of work.
