[Hardy, Elaine]

In addition to requirements for changes to the Cataloging interface, we are working on a requirements document for an inventory module. We have the functional requirements ready and are working on the non-functional requirements now.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RSCEL and Evergreen-ils.org and RSCEL Update 



In an effort to ensure that RSCEL activities build on community efforts rather than dissipate those efforts, RSCEL has joined forces with the official Evergreen project page ( evergreen-ils.org ). RSCEL is now a subdomain of the official Evergreen pages ( rscel.evergreen-ils.org ). This simple merge of DNS records is just a first step toward bringing all things Evergreen into closer alignment. Look for more changes to the two websites as we explore more ways to make it easier for everyone to find what they need. 

If you have ideas about what else could be done to make it easier to find what you need or if you are a information architecture god or goddess, please let us know because we want you on the Evergreen Communications Committee . That's the group who's job it is to sort out what we have ('we' being the Evergreen Community), what we don't have, and where it should all live so we can find it more easily. 

And speaking of what we don't have...one thing we RSCELs have heard loud and clear is the need for an Evergreen directory: a way for people find others involved in an Evergreen project so they can reach out and make a connection. Well, the Communications Committee is working on developing just such a directory so look for something about that soon. 

The RSCEL team is also aware of the need for better information about development efforts underway (or which you WISH were underway). Toward that end, we will very soon have a way for everyone to see where at least one big development effort is, namely the KCLS project. Each KCLS requirement (from their original requirements will be given a status so you know whether it is actively in development or not). Hopefully, this will help everyone get a better handle on what's already in the works so they can focus on other areas (or drop a note to KCLS if you have an active interest in that feature). We'll also be making a RSCEL Demo available which will be a copy of the in-development version of Evergreen resulting from the KCLS project (referred to by KCLS/RSCEL as 2.0 since the developers have indicated most of these developments will end up in Evergreen 2.0). Stay tuned for both of those additions to the rscel.evergreen-ils.org website soon! 

The RSCEL team is also working on way to make it easy for everyone to share information about their development needs/desire/projects, tentatively referred to as the Enhancement Tracker...more info on that as we get closer to having something to share.

P.S. Everyone is welcome to become a RSCEL, all you have to do is register at rscel.evergreen-ils.org and participate in whatever way works for you.
