Well, in that case and if it's not too late, is there room for one more? As a relatively new person to Evergreen, I think many of the questions I've had to answer to get going are still fresh in my mind. I've also been working with libraries interested in Evergreen and talking to our current libraries, so I know some of their perspectives and concerns. Also, I have some sysadmin documentation written - at this point for our local needs, but I am planning to submit it to the community and perhaps it could be of some use for this project as well.
