:)I was going to forward a suggestion to Mike about how to answer your
:)request, but he's gone for two weeks. Ultimately, he's the project
:)leader, and may be able to give a better answer than this, but I wanted
:)to provide to you something.
:)
:)First off, thanks for the idea.
:)
:)I can see how there might very well be two projects, that are, from the
:)standpoint of meeting a business need, the same project, but from the
:)standpoint of Process, are very different projects indeed.
:)
:)For example, Electronic Reserves: If it were to become a Delivery
:)project, it would have very different work and people than the current
:)Discovery project. It's the same project from one viewpoint, and 2
:)different projects from another viewpoint.
:)
:)Chatting informally with Miki about this, we concluded that the change
:)to the schema to allow one project "NAME" to refer to two whole projects
:)in the database with different "PROCESS" fields as the differentiator
:)would be a non-trivial amount of effort.
:)
:)Miki suggests the admittedly kludgy approach of assigning long names to
:)projects, for example Electronic Reserves Discovery and Electronic
:)Reserves Delivery.
:)
:)When Mike comes back he will give you the official answer, but I think
:)the answer to your question is, "Yes it would be useful functionality,
:)but the cost of implementing it is beyond the scope planned for the
:)effort this time around. So we should remember to put into the hopper
:)with the stuff considered for the larger scope follow-on Discovery
:)project."
