Hi ChrisPleased to see the news of the Blackwell bookstore functionality going live. A few quick questions about this:Is it the case that the option to activate this in a customer Tenancy goes live, and that sites for which Blackwell was a relevant provider need to contact you with branch information to request that this is activated; or has then been preconfigured by Talis for the relevant customers?
Can the branch locator variable in the look-up contain multiple values (we have two Blackwell stores on different campuses and it would be great to be able to display availability from both stores)?
Is a vendor availability look-up itself seen as a single option within a Tenancy - if a site wanted to include Amazon and Blackwell availlability look-ups, is that possible?
Providing advance notice of release features through this list will be most welcome - and, of course, the more advance notice the better (once things are confirmed). Can you just clarify if, in the way that you manage the agile roll-out of new features, you retain the notion of bundling up a 'new version' that is 'fixed' so many days ahead of release, or are things more fluid than that? What I'm getting at is whether its 'knowable', say, on any given Monday what will be included in any given Thursday's release; or might something be cleared on Wednesday lunchtime for Thursday release?
