4.      Discussion

a.      Review and rank Bug Fixes and Enhancements: review prioritizations from Circulation User Group.

                                                              i.      Discussion:  H. Oliversen sent out the spreadsheet of the bug fixes and enhancements to the subcommittee members the week before the meeting.  The Circulation User Group that met on 12/16/2021 reviewed the bug fixes and enhancements and assigned the first round of priorities.  CSS will review bug fixes, assign priorities of high, medium or low and assign a numerical rank within these priorities to indicate higher preference.  CSS will review list of enhancements and assign a numerical rank to the entries. The top 15 priorities for bug fixes will be added to the bug fixes survey and the top 5 priorities for enhancements will be added to the enhancements/development survey going out to the directors on January 19th. Survey results will be reviewed and discussed at the Feb. 2 ILS Committee meeting.   E. Kersten asked if we can remove the items that are in-progress (reported as fixed in version 7.2).  H. Oliversen thinks we should continue to mark them as high and rank as number 1.  The group agreed that the in-progress fixes don’t need to be ranked.  The 7.00.15b point release came out today and so far it’s going well.  The group assigned level priorities to the bug fixes (high, med, low) and then numerical ranking within those levels and assigned numerical ranking to all of the enhancements in the list. We will post the spreadsheet to the CSS webpage and members asked for the copy to be emailed to them.
