Please keep the list informed of this conversation. I would love for
the infogami code being used for the open library to turn into
something more generalizable. Often this merely requires that a second
group wants to use it -- collaboration will sort of imply some sort
degree of generalization in the code and libraries.

I'm no sure if the OL folks are ready for this but I'd like to see this
took so please keep us informed.

Later,
Mako
