[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item

[Rogan Hamby]

I should have read further down.  :)

+1 to everything Grace said.

I actually had reason to revisit the quote and specs for it recently (to
refresh my memory) because the topic came up in conversation within SCLENDS
and I still think it's very good and would work wonderfully with the web
based staff client.  It mostly needs UI level things that are either going
to be there anyway or aren't great stretches to develop.

Caveat: when I say things are 'there' I mean the types of widgets and
interfaces and interfaces are mostly there, not that the actual specific
UIs are there.  That doesn't make development trivial but it's nice to not
have to reinvent the wheel too.
