hi Steve, and hi others too...

I was wondering if it would not be a good idea to have a priority list. 
This idea is good, but when should it be scheduled ? we have many other 
feature-request, and we should have a way to order them.

Note : on monday, I leave Marseille, and will be in something like "in 
holidays" until august,25.
But as i love koha, it's every day holiday with it, so i go with my PC.
I've many other things to do during august, but i'll still read my 
mails, and maybe spend some hours on MARC stuff. Anyway, i won't have a 
ADSL connexion, but a 56k one, so be patient and don't expect fast 
answers ;-)
