[EP-tech] Re: Embargo pre-alerts

It's not something that I'd use..... however I'd suggest making the notice period a configurable variable, and maybe have a table that allows a different notice time for different item types?

Hi, For our eThesis repository, I've been developing a Bazaar package
to generate alerts to users before the embargo on their documents
expire.

Is this something that would/could be useful to you?

The requirements for us is to alert students that the embargo on
their thesis will expire next month, and that if necessary they need
to contact us to arrange any extension.

I'm trying to work out how best to make it configurable for other
people e.g. for our use, we don't need to filter on item type, as we
have a separate Etheses repo - but for *you*, I might need to provide
a way to do this.

If anyone is interested in this, let me know and I can try and make
it as customisable as necessary!
