<p>Hello all,<br>
</p>
<p>So the 2018 hackfest in Marseille is now finished. It was a great
week, with a lot of work, a lot of discussion, a lot of fun. The
weather was with us, except on thursday, the evenings were full of
beer & happyness.<br>
Let's summarize what we made...<br>
<br>
</p>
<h1>Koha Elastic Search</h1>
<p>Our hotest topic, for sure<br>
10 patches written and/or signed off. A lot of work on Elastic
Search. BULAC want to go live with Koha+ES with 18.05 [Thank you
François and Severine, Bulac, Nick, Bywatersolutions, Alex,
BibLibre]<br>
<br>
</p>
<h1>UNIMARC & bibliographic transition (FRBR):</h1>
<p>• default frameworks at install updated [thank you François,
Roubaix public library]<br>
• script written to update all cataloguing frameworks with new
MARC records preparing FRBR (IFLA 2017 fields & subfields)
[thank you Julian, BibLibre]<br>
• zebra indexes definition started, to be finished [thank you
François, Roubaix public library]<br>
• XSLT to display those new fields still to do<br>
<br>
</p>
<h1>FRBR & ReasonableGraph</h1>
<p>3 developers from AltSol, a Greek company working on FRBR and a
software called ReasonableGraph (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://reasonablegraph.org/">https://reasonablegraph.org/</a>) showed what they made with Koha
& MARC data. They'll keep to work on it, the Koha community
may hear of them again in the future. Maybe starting with a plugin
that can be compared to the Ebsco EDS plugin: instead of searching
in Koha, search would be made on ReasonableGraph database, that is
fully FRBR compliant, and present results in a "FRBR way" [Thank
you Nikos, AltSol]<br>
<br>
</p>
<h1>Translation</h1>
<p>The french team worked and finished to translate 100% of 17.11,
the release notes, and most of the documentation. A big effort
[Thank you many french librarians !]<br>
<br>
</p>
<h1>Coral & Koha<>Coral interface</h1>
<p>• presentation of Coral 3.0 new features (including the wonderful
interface Coral <> EDS)<br>
• presentation of Coral setup at Lyon 3 [Thank you Sonia, Lyon 3]<br>
• Koha <> Coral interface, what's done, what has to be done
[Thank you Matthias, BibLibre]<br>
<br>

<h1>Koha & SCSS</h1>
[Thank you Owen, ACPL]
<p>• Finished the transition to SCSS for the staff client (see
