Getting Going

[Casey Bisson]

I've posted links to the software downloads and some very brief
installation and instructions here:

http://about.scriblio.net/download/

Those instructions heavily gloss over the step to import your catalog
data, but they're a start. The starter content is a small help, but a
bug in WordPress' WXR export/import makes the excerpt for each record
look a little funky. If you've got a MARC file or a Innovative
Interfaces ILS, you'll find import scripts are included to help get
you going, and things are setup so it's hopefully easy to plug it
into any source of records.

Considering how sparse the existing documentation is, let's use the
mail list to figure things out and document along the way.

I should also note that the Scriblio site I'm most actively working
on now is the public beta of Plymouth State University's Lamson
Library, here:

I've been testing my bug fixes and added features against another
test site and submitting them to the subversion repository as I make
them. The downloadable tar files aren't really versioned, I've simply
been taring up the current code in the repository when it looks
stable. That process is certain to evolve as more people join in.

Thank you for trying out Scriblio, let's make it better,
