[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Let's document 2.7!

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Our September 18 deadline day is here! We seem to be in fairly good 
shape with the number of 2.7 new features, but I'm sending along/asking 
for some updates on the features that have not yet been addressed.

* Display "Imported As" in Vandelay queue: Yamil reported in IRC today 
that he just needs to take a new screenshot to finish this documentation.
* MARC stream importer command line options: I'm reporting that I'm a 
little behind schedule in completing this documentation, but will try to 
finish it off and send it to a colleague for review this week.
* Added Content by ID  and Content Cafe Added Content Update: I know Jim 
Keenan was working on this at the hack-a-way. Jim, do you have an update 
on where this stands? Is there anything we can do to help get it into a 
working branch?
* More RDA 264 tag support : Jennifer Pringle reported in IRC today that 
she is including RDA information in some MARC editor documentation that 
she hopes to finish up and convert tomorrow.
