[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Academic reserves RFC: second revision

[Dan Scott]

Hi folks:

Thanks to everyone who responded to the academic reserves RFC; there
were some excellent responses both on and off list. I've updated the
RFC at http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=feature:academic_reserves
doing my best to incorporate your comments.

In this revision of the RFC, the scope has expanded from simply
addressing existing items within the ILS to trying to address the most
common requirements for electronic reserves. I do worry about feature
creep, and am not trying to replace dedicated third-party reserves
systems in the first iteration of the Evergreen reserves module, but
your comments convinced me that there would be a significant
improvement in process and flexibility if the system is capable of
handling a broader set of reserve items.

I would greatly appreciate another round of comments on the RFC - even
if it's simply a matter of "sounds good" or "please stop wasting my
time, you're so far off the track!". If it's the latter, then I'd
rather hear it now than six months down the road :)
