<DIV><FONT size=2>What is the timeline for the authentication stuff?<BR>I've
gone through some of the authentication stuff and it seems deeply embedded (ie:
not modular)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to do this right the authentication should be completely
abstracted from the app and allow a simple drop in authentication replacement.
If this were the case i'd happilly write the ldap stuff. Are there plans to
modularize all this stuff? Thanks....</FONT></DIV>

90000 books, maybe a dozen librarians and a couple thousand patrons? I'd have
