The original HTML was done in a huge rush - so yep has a lot of "stuff" in it 
that shouldn't be, because it was expedient.

I believe that as each module is refactored it is converter to HTML::Template 
so that all the HTML is removed from the Perl code - making it a lot easier to 
completely rebadge it.

I assume my name is in the code - as in "authored by Rachel" and probably a 
date - that is our standard practice, to identify who did the graphic design 
and/or wrote the HTML - partly so they can be shouted at when it breaks.

It's up to you wether you leave it in on your copy.  Open source doesn't 
necessarily mean anonymous  :-)

Katipo has been templating the OPAC screens - moving them all to HTML template, 
I have a feeling that acquisitions has been done, and maybe the catalogue 
search area, but I'm not sure about that.
