that patrons can reserve a set by date rather than just joining a waiting
list.  Right now the way it works is almost beyond belief in it's complexity
and archaic-ness. 


As I say, we can build an application that will handle this but it seems
like it might be a common enough situation that if there was already
something out there that we could just modify we might be better off doing
that. 


I've certainly never heard of anything like this, so you may want to 
start implementing yourself...


cheers,
