Some notes taken during installation:
  
   * The install script does not run properly on Solaris 10 (eg. it uses "tar -xzf" which is not supported with Solaris tar, use "gtar -xzf" instead or a pipe though gunzip and tar). Idea: How about a web based installation?   * The install script does not run properly on Solaris 10 (eg. it uses "tar -xzf" which is not supported with Solaris tar, use "gtar -xzf" instead or a pipe though gunzip and tar).

 One way to decrease "individual costs" with all that is collaborative problem solving by getting involved in an open source project. That's exactly what VuFind, solrmarc (and other OSS) is about. On the other hand, there are local aspects, especially around data, that may only be solved locally. Some local customization is always necessary. VuFind (as well as other library software) will very likely never be a "product" you can download, Setup.exe and have your wonderOPAC ready by some magic. All the more it is important to have know how in internet technology (like VuFind uses it) in libraries and participate with that and develop it in communities of open source projects. One way to decrease "individual costs" with all that is collaborative problem solving by getting involved in an open source project.
