--- Comment #3 from Christopher Brannon <cbrannon at cdalibrary.org> ---
The koha-US development committee met and has determined the following criteria
for this new feature:

* A new field (ie patron_read) will be added to the messages table to record
that the patron has read the message.

* If a message is set to display on the OPAC for the patron, the patron will
have a 'Dismiss' or 'Mark as read' button next to the message.

* When the patron marks the message as read, the message_type field will change
from B (patron) to L (librarian), and the new field (ie patron_read) will have
a value, indicating that they read the message.

* If this new field is true (showing the patron has read the message), it will
now have the message_type set to L (librarian), and the message will show on
the patron account.  Because the new field has a value, it will also display
some form of label next to the message indicating that the patron has read the
message.  The label could say something like 'Patron acknowledged', or
something similar.

This functionality will not delete the message.  It will allow staff to see
that the patron has read the message, and staff will still have the ability to
delete the message at their discretion.
