[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.3 alpha around the corner

[Janet Schrader]

I believe that CW/MARS libraries would like:

1.) Public notes display. This was a feature we lost when we migrated to EG.

2.) Bib records with no items display in PAC.

3.) Cross-references are another feature we'd like to see in PAC.

4.) Ability to scope 590 and 690 fields for local notes and subject headings using subfield '9' as the 856 fields do.

Thanks for asking the question! Since jspac is scheduled to be
deprecated as of 2.3, I think it might be useful to identify which of
those unsponsored pending features from
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:opac:template-toolkit:plan&rev=1339016264 should be addressed before jspac is phased out. There are two that jump out at
me:

* Display of public copy notes - it might seem to be minor, but public
notes aren't really public if the public can't see them.

* Check for password strength at login and force change if password is weak.

There are several other items on that list that I would like to see
eventually incorporated into tpac, but the above two features are
basic things I think should be available before tpac becomes the
default catalog for Evergreen.

Also, I didn't see the new xulrunner branch
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/942134) in the links you
sent out. Is that something that might be tested and committed in time
for 2.3?

Thanks!
Kathy
