[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Proposed Goal for documenting new features

[Kathy Lussier]

+1 from me.

It looks like 2.6 has a manageable list of doc needs. It looks like 
several of these features are ones developed by ESI and probably already 
have documentation in the works. It would be great if Angela or Erica 
could mark down which ones will be contributed by ESI before the rest of 
us start marking our names down for them.

Thank you for keeping us focused Remington!
