[Koha] [Koha-devel] RFC: Modification to Fines System

[Kyle Hall]

That makes sense. I'll have to modify my patch for that. FYI, if
anyone is interested, this work is available at
http://koha-plus.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=koha-plus/koha-plus;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/fines_system_update
if anyone wants to monitor it.
