[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] A simple sys-admin doc addition.

[Soulliere, Robert]

I was definitely going to separate 1.6 and 2.0 and we are going to separate the branches based on version.  I was mostly wondering ff the content changes between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 were drastic enough to separate.


Thanks,
Robert

I am not quite sure about the implications of doing it either way in regards to merging changes to these documents across branches in the repository.

Since, roughly speaking, the documentation for 1.6.1 would be the 1.6.0 documentation plus a chapter on booking, keeping them together would be OK if it is more convenient for DIG.  However, that wouldn't work for 2.0, since there will be a long period of time where some libraries will be running 1.6.x and others 2.x, so separate versions of the manuals would be a good thing.

Of course, multiple versions can be maintained in the same Git repository using different branches.

Galen
