[Koha] RFID and Koha 2.2.2

[gsl]

Joann:

Sorry I don't have any specific information I can offer, but as a 
general comment I've liked what I've seen of demos of the Bibliotheca 
RFID system. I've also looked at, and played with, Envisionware quite a 
bit. Envisionware certainly has the appearance of having put all their 
components together nicely, but they are completely Microsoft OS-centric 
(for the systems I've looked at). We are very much Linux here, so we've 
never purchased any of their products. With Envisionware it was always a 
matter of buying Yet Another Server, and I don't want to add any more 
servers, especially MS ones, even VM, to our network room.
