Apologies for the initial problems with the XC website. We ran into some problems with caching in Drupal. We have fixed the problem, and we also expanded our browser support to reach as many people as possible. Please visit http://www.extensiblecatalog.org for all the latest information on the project, and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. -Steven Steven Dibelius Deployment Engineer, eXtensible Catalog Project University of Rochester [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Custer, Mark Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 4:25 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] eXtensible Catalog - New Website The site was working fine earlier, as I was able to view it with Opera (now, of course, I've the same problems).
