For most issues, it did come to closure (updated list of changes to
give to Grant forthcoming).  Most things were pretty straightforward,
non-controversial changes.  The only thing that really didn't was the
notion of indexing 490 0  and most/all 5xx's.  As you've seen, there's
a debate (well, I think we're actually all in agreement on this) that
the 510s, since they will not be displayed, should not be indexed.  We
reached a heady but shaky consensus.

I think our list of changes falls into two categories: 1. things that
are either errors or self-evident changes; 2. broader things like
indexing all 5xxs: creative changes or enhancements to the B.Index.  I
think the way to communicate the recommendations to other interested
parties is simply to post our finalized list to whatever groups are
interested (I know opac-lib is) after we give it to Grant.

I think so....

How about functional testing?
