Just checked in with your link briefly, Chris. Like your layout, but discovered that when I do an author browse, the author names are not displaying in alphabetical order. Finding an author of my interest in a non-alphabetic name list was tough to do. This will be a problem to many who might not persist to get to the good stuff that is listed under a given author.
Just my two cents. I will watch further developments with interest. kst

Hello Group,
I am part of the development team for VuFind (http://www.vufind.org), an
open source catalog search software. Today we released version 0.7 of
the software (still beta, but we're getting there). With this release we
included an experimental browse feature that we would love to hear some
feedback on from this list, as the topic of browse has come up here in
the past.
Try the browse demo here: http://www.vufind.org/demo/Browse/Home
This is still a work in progress. Some things in the browse are still
buggy (Subject Area & Tags don't work yet). Hopefully you can overlook
this and discuss, beyond the technical part, theoretically how you see a
browse functioning and if this is going in the right direction or not...
What can we do differently, beyond squashing the bugs, to make the
browse useful for an average user?
Thanks in advance,
