-Future Directions
-
-
-We have a new and better version of the frontend server on the drawing
-board. Resources and external commitments will govern when we'll be
-able to do something real with it. Fetures should include greater
-flexibility, greter support for access/resource control, and easy
-support for Explain (possibly with Zebra as an extra database engine).
-
-
-
-We now support all PDUs of Z39.50-1995. If there is one of the
-supporting structures that you need but can't find in the prt*.h
-files, send us a note; it may be on its way.
-
-
-
-The 'retrieval' module needs to be finalized and documented. We think
-it can form a useful resource for people dealing with complex record
-structures, but for now, you'll mostly have to chew through the code
-yourself to make use of it. Not acceptable.
-
-
-
-Other than that, YAZ generally moves in the directions which appear to
-make the most people happy (including ourselves, as prime users of the
-software). If there's something you'd like to see in here, then drop
-us a note and let's see what we can come up with.

+ &yaz; is a BER toolkit and as such should support all protocols
+ out there based on that. We'd like to see running ILL applications.
+ It shouldn't be that hard. Another thing that would be interesting is
+ LDAP. Maybe a generic framework for doing IR using both LDAP and
+ Z39.50 transparently.

+

+ make the most people happy (including ourselves, as prime users of the
