Marc,
We are close to the 1M level, and I've been flying solo on the VuFind
project, in addition to trying to lead the SirsiDynix API connectors. I
took a break when VuFind was releasing often between 0.8 and 1.0RC1, and
now going to get 1.0RC1 installed and editing the API connector as
needed. My hope for the SirsiDynix community is that their SirsiDynix
systems person can install VuFind and the connector and let it run with
minimal support.
