I left BOG yesterday afternoon feeling pretty good.  Compared to some
of the other modules, OPAC's got it easy.  Given the frighteningly
short time, and considering that some modules don't actually work at
all yet, I think we're going to have to allow Grant and Geac to
concentrate on essential functionality for the time being.  I agree,
this is a maddening and confusing feature and it should be fixed.
Would somebody submit it to Grant as a bug report, but clearly lable
it "suggestion for enhancement" or some such?  Once we get this thing
up and running we can certainly turn our attention to things which
aren't precisely broken but which clunk and chunk along.
