[OPEN-ILS-DEV] ***SPAM*** Pull request for Search Templates

[James Fournie]

Hey there,

Mike, can you elaborate on what you're talking about for the benefit of
Justin and anyone who doesn't know about this feature you speak of?   Maybe
point to the relevant code bits?

It sounds like what Justin did is a useful feature.   I hate to see someone
willing and eager to contribute get shut down so quickly, and I'd like to
make it a bit easier for Justin to make a meaningful contribution.

Justin, I'd just like to say thank you for making the effort to document
what you're doing -- it looks like you've put a lot of thought into
documenting this.  I'm not quite clear as to if you've written the code yet
-- if not then please consider what Mike's said.  If you have code,
generally it'd be helpful to publish a git branch and then someone else may
be interested in adapting what you have to the framework that Mike's
proposed.

~James
