[OPEN-ILS-DEV] 2.1 Status and Blocking Bugs Request

[Peters, Michael]

I couldn't have said it any better than Kathy did.  I'm very fearful of rushing out new releases (and thus new bugs!) when there are showstopper issues like this that will just get pushed further and further down in the bug queue.

Sincerely,

I don't feel like I'm in a position to say these bugs are a show stopper
since the MassLNC consortia do not currently have any libraries using EDI in
Evergreen. However, C/W MARS is planning to go live in the fall with a
number of libraries that will be expecting to use EDI. It looks like these
bugs could be a serious impediment to using EDI. I don't know that they
should block the release of 2.1, but I'm a little concerned they may
languish in the bug queue and not receive any attention for future updates
to 2.1.

Thanks,
Kathy Lussier
