[I-mobile-u] Harvard code release

[David Ormsbee]

Hi folks,

I'm sorry to add more confusion to the situation. Let me start by saying
that Harvard's /future code is not ready for immediate adoption. It's still
a work in progress, the structure might shift around, and we've only just
started doing QA work on it. I wanted to let people know it existed to add
to the general discussion on where we all want this framework to go. I also
wanted to do the development out in the open and show everyone exactly what
our folks have been hard at work on.

Modo still considers the MIT repo to be the canonical one, and we hope to
get our changes merged back upstream when it's stable. There are a few
features that exist in the stable Harvard repo (not /future) that aren't
present in the MIT version -- cross-module search, dining (using a CSV
export from FoodPro), and TransLoc support for shuttles. If those are of
interest, you may want to fork Harvard. Otherwise, I encourage people to
fork MIT as a general rule.

Thank you.

Dave
