[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Auto Suggest in Catalog Search documentation

Is there a place where this workflow itself would be documented?  I think that could be helpful for developers, current and future.

Robert mentioned the need for a better way to communicate that external documentation is ready for inclusion in DIG's documentation and to coordinate official documentation and release notes. Robert's suggestion of working with the content coordinators makes sense to me.  Perhaps the workflow could be something like the following:

Or if specific details about which specific feature is documented can be indicated in the DIG list communications in separate messages so we can ensure that the specific sections are included in the docs especially when promised in the release notes. The other option would be for coordination with Content Coordinators listed herehttp://open-ils.org
