The suggestion module looks a lot like an interlibrary loan request form to me, especially the document request. Looking at some open source projects working with ILL might be a good idea. If not to grab bits of code maybe to get an idea of the fields and look. If something was standards compliant so much the better. OpneRequest http://sourceforge.net/projects/openrequest/ might be worth a look. ILL Wizard http://library.olivet.edu/opensource/iso-ill.html is another.

Hello,

The "Ecole des Mines de Nantes" funds a suggestion module. It will be in 2.2 You can read on the wiki (http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=SuggestionFeatures) the planned features. Please report any suggestion to improve this suggestion module.

There might be a point for replacing "A suggestion can be done by any user. The user who requested the book is stored in the DB." with: " A suggestion can be done by any registered and logged in user" It excludes persons who use the opac as guest users and request a document without having logged in: it might be better if we know who requested the document; we might then be able to put it aside for him/her when it's available, etc. Or the library might have a public policy about purchase requests: they are only accepted from members of the community, etc... But maybe it's too restrictive, I don't know. About the fields: * a title * an author * a copyright date * an editor The list seems short to me. We might propose a longer list (isbn, whatever), allow the user to ignore a field he don't know, expect author/title. Nicolas
