I would love to see a custom app.<div><br></div><div>I'm building up our org (<a href="http://cemmi.org">cemmi.org</a>) using a Joomla and some off the shelf extensions (with a few simple tweaks here and there).</div><div>
<br></div><div><a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/living/education-a-culture/books-a-libraries/3728">Booklibrary</a> for our equipment loan.</div><div><a href="http://www.nbill.co.uk/">nBill</a> for our recurring membership and bookkeeping.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What's great about this on my end is its all integrated into our front end website, so users have a seamless experience, and the membership manger adds and removes their user privileges automatically.</div>
<div><br>Good Luck!</div><div><br></div><div>James<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 2:55 AM, Will Bradley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bradley.will@gmail.com" target="_blank">bradley.will@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
