Invitation to Blog on NewGenLIbOpenSource

Users of NewGenLib Open Source Integrated Library Management System (ILMS), you now have a Blog on which you can make your own postings and see what other users feel, say and look for.

The blog is a more unstructured forum for exchange of views, opinions and knowledge about the software and ideas too. The blog supplements the Sourceforge.net discussion forum which is more for the user/developer communities to seek help from each other.

I hope we can make the Blog a worthwhile spot for all users of the open source offering
