What I've done

• User accounting reports in HTML and text format.

• Maintenance activity reports in HTML.

• Tagged output, targetting EndNote, although the format should be suitable for other citation managers. This required a few iterations (and probably isn't 100% finished yet) due to the issues in mapping an FRBR model into a flatter tagged record. Many thanks to John East from UQ Library for his very helpful suggestions, testing and feedback.

• Improvements to the customer/group/user maintenance suite.

• Form for suggesting additional Pandora resources.

• Minor stylesheet changes; custom report for Roger showing top award winners without bios.

• The system was stable. The Java Virtual Machine hung once after I restarted it to load new Customer, Group and User classes (the prime time for hanging seems to be a few minutes after restarting - if it lasts for an hour or two, it seems to last forever). The system now checks for a hanging Java Virtual Machine every 5 minutes and restarts it if necessary. The best hope for resolution to this problem remains the next release of the JVM, Version 1.4, expected in March.
