[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] DIG needs a plan for updating documentation for new "browser staff client"

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Yamil,

I really like the plan Remington came up with to ensure that 
documentation for all new features is created for each release, and I 
think the same plan would work well for documenting the web client. 
Following that plan, if circulation in the web client is done in time 
for 2.7, then it would be included in the new features to document by 
release time. Following this plan, it would give DIG the ability to 
tackle the documentation in smaller chunks as different pieces of the 
web client are part of each release.

Perhaps we should schedule some DIG hackfest time shortly after the beta 
release to give time for everyone to work on this documentation together.
