[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Requirements for academic reserves: request for comments

[Dan Scott]

Hello:

I have written up a first draft "request for comments" (RFC) of a set
of requirements for academic reserves at
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=feature:academic_reserves

The intention of the RFC is to explore the community's needs from an
academic reserves system so that we can have a reasonably stable set
of requirements before we move into the design and implementation
stages. Please read the RFC and post any comments to the list (or send
email directly to me, if you prefer). I am particularly interested in
finding out:

1) If a feature were built that met the currently expressed
requirements in the RFC, would it be lacking any aspects that your
users enjoy in your current system?

2) If a feature were built that met the currently expressed
requirements in the RFC, would it satisfy your needs? (This is
different from #1 in that it is possible to satisfy needs without
implementing all possible aspects of competing systems).

2a) If you answered "no" to 2), what else would the feature require to
satisfy your needs?

3) What would be the best possible addition(s) to the requirements in the RFC?

Many thanks in advance!
