Koha has mechanism to send messages to patrons and staff user that includes the ability to use message templates and send emails. LibLime proposes to enhance messaging by adding the following: * creating a messaging preferences tab in the OPAC so that patrons can control what types of messages they receive. * enhance the letters template mechanism to allow header, footer, and repeating section templates. * add SMS as a delivery mechanism and unify it with other delivery options. * add support to send messages via an interface with a telephony system. * add the option to retrieve messages via RSS feeds * add a central queue for messages so that processes to generate and send messages can be separated. * add a mechanism to inject messages from another source (such as a library class scheduling system). * unifying all of the code that can send emails and other types of messages into a single set of modules. In addition, several circulation message types would be added: * event or class notices * notices sent when an item just becomes overdue * notices sent in advance of an item's due date. For more information on this proposal, please consult the Koha wiki at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2:rfc32_notifications_... Thanks in advance for comments.
