[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item

[Rogan Hamby]

There have been several attempts to push for inventory functionality.  GA
PINES worked on speccing one as Elaine mentioned.  There was another
specification made largely by myself and Mike Rylander (though not
exclusively and my memory is now vague of who all was around the table) but
there wasn't enough interest for community funding.  The question I heard
over and over was "why would we want to do an inventory?"

Within SCLENDS we've talked about approaching the project again and
potentially being able to increase the amount we could put into it but we
still probably would still need to gather funding partners.
