Is it a good guess that just about every library (including CSSR) has their 
*own* customization of the OPAC interface? And that they all started with 
"prog"? If so, why ditch the common denominator?

Not having 3.10 installed here, is there a "write up" on what the 
differences are? I've tried searching for 'cssr' on the bugs page but can 
only find snippets, and elsewhere have found:

Plus some references to mobile apps.  I had a look at 
https://sherbrooke.koha.ccsr.qc.ca/ but obviously that doesn't show what 
the underlying changes are.

So I'm looking for pointers, please?

tnx and br - Paul
