"Aspirational" Collections timing

A few months

If we're lucky.

Note the quotation marks.

On an unrelated note, I would be very happy indeed if The Powers That Be could spare the time to look at this and tell me that I ain't nuts for wanting it fixed. I'll make an effort to hold my tongue until it's clear that "soon" is indeed... aspirational.

It'll be sooner than months but it might fall back to A month. I was really hoping that we'd have it done a week ago but various things have conspired against that. Tim was drawn away to do business side stuff for a good week or two (he's mostly back now) and I'm going to be gone next week giving a report to the NEH. My guess is that it will probably be after I get back but Tim could go on a bender and release it while I'm gone.

..straight from the horses mouth

Well, from one horse's mouth, anyway.

(Would anyone care to read the post I linked to and confirm or deny my sanity?)

Speaking of aspirational timing, I had a few Collections questions that probably ought to get cleared up sooner rather than later, mostly about how Collections would affect those of us who have satelite accounts as makeshift collections.

My biggest question is whether books from merged accounts would just get dumped wherever our catalogs get dumped, or if we could ask that they get dumped into such-and-such a Collection instead. That is, if I ask that my wish list, which is technically a separate library and not tagged as a wishlist, get put into my "Wish List" collection, would it end up there or would it just get dumped into "Your Library" anyway?

I had other questions floating around my brain, but they seem to have evaporated into the undercaffinated mist up there. I'll post them when I remember them.

From the horse's mouth to God's ear? :-)

I cannot conceive of a scenario in which someone who has been maintaining a separate wishlist library will say "oh, just go ahead and dump it in with the rest now that we have collections" rather than "please put it in my wishlist collection"; in other words, I think that unless Tim et al. are suddenly replaced by baboons you are worried about nothing.

Mom had to come up with a new word once: awfulizing. It's the recent media blackout (for lack of a better term) that's getting me.
