Martin, 
I know Lucas at Bywater put together some JQ that replaces the "notes" section
on the OPAC with a very basic curbside scheduler. It works well for
single-branch libraries (or libraries where you can only put on holds from your
branch) but I'm not sure you can limit how many patrons at a time are doing
curbside so you don't get flooded with curbside appointments. 

For us as a consortium with multi-branch libraries within the consortium, we
would want to schedule pickup once the hold is available and be able to limit
how many people are doing curbside at a time, as well as setting times and
limits on each branch. We are doing a 15 minute window with up to 10 pickups at
a time at our branch. Currently our branch is using a paid service to
facilitate this. 

Ideally in Koha we could do a link/have them go to the OPAC login and could
schedule from there once holds were in. 
It would be helpful if we could check out all waiting holds with a button press
so when we are prepping the materials we can say 'these are the 15 holds for
this patrons, check them all out' to speed up the process and reduce how much
staff is handling the items. I know we could copy the barcodes into batch
checkout, but it would be much smoother if there was a button.

For the long run, having it be something you could turn on and off/branch would
be ideal, although if you could set pickup times for each branch those that
aren't using it could just not set up times. 

I think I saw that Evergreen's plan was to have a check in option when they
arrived and I think that would be helpful as well.
