Hi Lori,
At this point, we are focusing on development, but, you're right, the KCLS software specs are not really what we're looking for. We're more interested in RFP's for development that is more specific in nature. The kids catalog project is one that comes to mind as an example, but there may be other similar projects out there. It really is a different approach from what we did when acquiring a commercial system, and seeing examples from other open-source projects will probably be a lot more helpful than looking at some of our old RFPs. Does that help clarify the question? Thanks!

The KCLS software specs were for writing a LOT of new code and I'm thinking that's not really what you had in mind so wanted to clarify. I do have an RFP sample for support I could share. And another very simple one for implementation and training.

We are in the latter phases of identifying our development needs for Evergreen with the plan of issuing an RFP for system development in early summer. I was wondering if anyone in the Evergreen community has an RFP they have used for system development in Evergreen or another open-source product that you would be willing to share with us. I do have a copy of King County's RFP for system support as well as the specs they posted to the http://oss4pl.org/ site. Thanks in advance for your help!
