Hi,

A tentative outline was proposed by Dan Scott on the code4libcon list in
October:

* Quick intro to Evergreen
 * Installing Evergreen prereqs on Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo (possibly
 concurrent with Installing VMWare Player for Windows folk)
 ** Half-hour coffee break / help people finish up / let Gentoo people
 finish their prereq compiles
 * Installing OpenSRF and Evergreen
 * Configuring basic connectivity using 'localhost' and testing
 connections via srfsh / catalog / staff client
 * Configuring the system with the whiz-bang Django admin tool
 * Test basic staff client tasks: copy cataloging, adding patrons,
 circulating books
 ** Lunch
 * Bulk-loading data: bib records, holdings, patrons
 * Evergreen internals: adding new export methods, etc.


Naturally, this will have to be trimmed to suit the new format.  Anything in
particular you would like to see?
