[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] bookings module - media bookings

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley]

No problem Tara,

I can see why one would get that error message when trying to checkout 
something that should be waiting to be picked up.

I also see where the booking code limits what you get shown to pickup 
such that if something's not picked up on the first day of its 
reservation, it doesn't remain on the pickup list and it becomes hard to 
do anything with it.  That much I can treat as a bug and fix.

Here's the developers' bug report, with a link to code that should fix 
the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/925169.  This fix 
should be included in all future releases.

I encourage everyone who has spoken up about what new features or 
changes they'd like to see in the Booking module to keep talking!  A 
consensus list of desired work would be helpful to any future 
development effort.  Consider reaching out to Cynthia Williamson and 
Robert Soulliere of Mohawk College, who pioneered the existing work 
where there was no booking module before, (I recall their names, but I 
hope I'm not leaving out anybody else!).
