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

[Nathan Vack]

It's worth noting that while the Bibapp does have a lot of potential,  
it's not yet fully-baked... we're still definitely medium-rare. We're  
currently looking at what we'll need to do in order to move from  
"makes for a sweet-looking demo" to "librarians and faculty use this  
to get work done."

I'd say that if you don't have an IT person on hand to work on the  
project (hopefully conversant in Ruby on Rails), wait for a little  
while on the Bibapp.

That being said... yes, adoption and contributions will be warmly  
welcomed indeed -- with the caveat that it's definitely not  
production-ready software. Yet. ;-)
