[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Making a serials roadmap of sorts, openly

[Gislaine.Hamelin at statcan.gc.ca]

Hello list,

One improvement we would like to see is the merging of the two views (I'm sure this has already been raised). We currently prefer Alternate as we use routing lists. We also have asked for a customized routing list to reflect the one we currently have. This will be particular to our library, but we are certainly willing to submit to the community.

A serials related get together is a great idea.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Making a serials roadmap of sorts, openly

I've recently heard from Olli-Antti Kivilahti, who along with Pasi Kallinen has identified some of his institution's most highly desired serials features.

I'll let them respond here with more detail if they're ready to do so now, but I also wanted to take the opportunity to organize some kind of serials-related get-together at the Evergreen conference.

Let's have all available past, present, and future Evergreen serials developers come together to discuss what we can agree on, design-wise, and let's also talk about what we think we can get done, given that none of us are in a position to work on serials development full-time at the moment.  As far as I know nobody out there is funding any specific serials development work on Evergreen right now, but that's not to say that some work can't happen anyway.

Also, I think we should semi-formally make ourselves available at some appointed time and place to hear questions, concerns, and feature wishlists from serials users at the conference.  There has been a significant increase in the number of sites using Evergreen serials since last year's conference, and it's a good opportunity to identify the most pressing needs of the broader community.

Feedback about all of these things are also welcome right here on the mailing list.

Regards,
