Hmmm this sounds interesting I know quite a few libraries this way who would like that too

Probably, when I did my port it more of a hot-fix (staff were going wild with having to tack pieces of paper to student cards ;)) - didn't take too much time to go into the details beyond making the feature available, manpower's at a premium this side of town :(

While we're here just out of curiosity whatever happened to the clubs and something feature that was in dev-week on savannah cvs? Looked pretty interesting to me (for current awareness services) was hoping it would make it's way to koha 3 but it didn't.
