Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory module
The PINES consortium has developed a requirements doc for an inventory module. If you would like me to post it, let me know. Elaine J.

We've passed it around to a few other entities in the community and although its not quite ready for prime time we've had positive interest in making it the blueprint of an Evergreen inventory component. We started with taking some extremely experienced inventory staff and having them design their dream system and I worked at keeping it married to existing Evergreen infrastructure to keep it realistic. After the New Years I'm going to put some more effort into finding partners for the work and funding. We still need more input and eyes on it of course before we're at the funding stage but but I think there is interest. I'll certainly include you if you like.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory module
I seem to recall this coming up before, and I seem to recall handing out information I had come up with, but I don't recall anyone actually doing anything about it. I have some basic thoughts on how to accomplish some pieces with minimal issues, and the rest that I am aware of could then be easily accomplished with reports. But I haven't had time (or pressing need) to develop any of it.
