[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Features and defaults and navigation (was: [Bug 1261939] Re: Add per-library TPAC pages with schema.org structured data support)

2014-01-22 Thread Dan Scott
I've forwarded comments from Dan Wells on bug # 1261939 around merging a new feature; and instead of responding in the bug (which is now closed), I've put my thoughts below that. There's a mix of discussion around whether new features should be on by default, as well as design how navigation in

Hello all, Thanks, Dan, for bringing this to the list. It is a better place to have the discussion, I think. I don’t have a lot to add beyond the original post, but do wish to clarify a couple of my views. As far as I know slam dunk criteria has never been formally applied to any previous

2014-01-22 Thread Liam Whalen
Network performance is a very important issue for Sitka. We have a number of remote libraries with high latency Internet connections. The more we can reduce information sent between the server and clients the better the staff experience will be in these libraries. I think WebSockets will

[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Thoughts about the Staff Client part 4 or 4 - Google Best Practices
