[Web4lib] Server software/package for bib database of faculty publications?

[Matt Cordial]

We at UIUC have installed an instance of BibApp and are really impressed 
with its potential. We have been discussing with Nate and Eric how to go 
about further collaborative development. I am confident in saying that, 
if so inclined, your adoption and contribution to the project would be 
warmly welcomed.
