The persistent "on route" bug in the reserves module (bug #109,
"when putting books on reserve after they are linked their status
changes to on route...") could be a show stopper. This is an old bug
and still happening. Have we consulted with Geac on this one?
Also, I just talked to David Kahle about this problem: you can't
update (i.e., re-use) an expired course list. (He has sent in a bug
report on it.) If this is really the case, it means existing course
lists couldn't be re-activated; we'd have to re-do the list from
scratch even though an expired version of the list is already in the
system. This too is unacceptable, I think. I'd be reluctant to sign
off on the reserves module under these conditions. -AP
