[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] FW: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Question regarding circulation policies

[Kate Butler]

+1 to this idea. 

I've also encountered several instances where the official documentation exists, and is correct, but is just too brief for me to understand.  A few times I've been lucky enough to find a consortium that's documented the same feature/process in a more detailed way.  It seems likely(?) that these places would be willing to have their stuff incorporated into the official docs, as long as someone else does the conversion.
