WordPress 2.3 Compatible!
I’ve just posted a WordPress 2.3 compatible version of Scriblio to the SVN repository. I’ve not updated the package files yet, but Lichen’s already installed it (she got it less than an hour ago).
Almost everything has changed, especially everything related to tags and metadata, and it will probably break old sites. But don’t let that overshadow the huge improvements to the management, configuration and import processes.
We’ll have to update a lot of the documentation, and it’ll take us a while to get that squared away. For now, know that bSuite Tags is out, there’s a new version of bSuite (now hosted at WordPress.org’s plugin repository), and everything is based on widgets.

How long do you think it will take you to get your documentation ready to go for this version? And what level user do you think one needs to be to get going with your software? (I’m not a total computer moron, but I’m a bit inexperienced with WordPress and have never administered any library software more involved than Greenstone–which is hardly an ILS. On the other hand, I’m a fast learner, particularly if things are set up to be fairly intuitive.)
I like your software for the ability to use tags as well as MARC records. (How I’ll generate MARC records is a little bit up in the air, right this second, admittedly…) I’m interested in using it, but a little worried about getting it off the ground. I’m not even sure, at this early stage, whether I have to find some other kind of product to handle the circulation side of things, or whether this is a full ILS… I’m a newbie.
Do I stand a chance? Or should I look elsewhere?
Thanks! And whether or not I can use Scriblio for this project, I will keep an eye on you for future endeavors. I think you’ve definitely got the right idea.

@Coral:
The documentation is always evolving, especially now as I’m in the middle of redoing the internal data model. But that’s probably good news for your use, as the new data model is being driven by the need to support original cataloging inside Scriblio.
I should post a roadmap, as that would give you a better opportunity to understand the software now and where it’s going.
