about IRC meeting

I won't be at IRC meeting tonight (4AM for me ;-) ), because i'm ill. I don't think it's important. Hope to be OK tomorrow morning. I wanted to give some news about the MARC stuff : * The biblio.pm API is almost done i hope. What's missing is a proper way to manage additionalauthors and additionaltitles. I haven't tested complex combinations of biblio/bibitems/items too. I've done some tests, it seems the "OLD" koha is working still good (tests done with normal and acqui.simple). If you take a look at biblio.pm, you'll see how i've divided the problem in 4 types : old-DB, marc-DB, old-API, marc-API. Note old-API in CVS is supposed to use hashs as parameters, and it's A LOT EASIER for me... * Adding a biblio with the normal acquisition works fine, even in MARC-DB : it adds all what it does (except for addauth and addtit, of course) in the MARC-DB. * In acqui.simple, i've begun to rewrite the marcimport.pl to be compatible with the MARC-DB (structure of marc : it imports MARC-21 as well as UNIMARC, as well as USMARC, you just have to define correctly the parameters tables, and full recording of all MARC datas in the MARC-DB). It seems to work not bad in the ProcessFile part (it shows the "old-DB" fields and the MARC fields almost exactly as the 1.2 version did). I haven't begun to work on DB-add. Note that as i was rewriting the script, i use HTML::Template for outputs i create. Good meeting anyway for everybody. -- Paul

[Bug 67] admin script for editing z39.50 servers

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67 ------- Additional Comments From micheas(a)micheas.dyns.net 2002-07-12 06:04 ------- I have an active firewall so I will need to see the portnumbers to punch holes for z3950 servers on odd ports (it almost seems that people use a random number generator to pick there port number instead of port 210) having the portnumbers in a flat file is just easier than getting the info from mysql. I'm pretty low on the people to make life easy for :-) Thanks for taking note. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

New branch
by Tonnesen Steve 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

I've created a new CVS branch tagged koha-1_2_2 (both koha and koha-html modules are branched). This branch will be used exclusively for bug fixes before releasing 1.2.2. I'm now going to merge in my templating and authentication changes into the rel-1-2 which will become 1.2.3 when it's all ready. I will also merge these changes into the trunk. The main files affected are search.pl, detail.pl, moredetail.pl, memberentry.pl, moremember.pl, Search.pm. Also, the subjectsearch.pl script is no longer used. If this merge turns into a dismal failure, we can carry on with the koha-1_2_2 branch while I lick my wounds. :) Comments? Steve.

(Pre)Meeting Notes
by Nicholas Rosasco 11 Jul '02

11 Jul '02

In the interests of expediting the meeting, I thought I'd summarize some stuff, and just take questions/ideas later... -------------Translations------------- We have a mail list for translators: koha-translate(a)lists.sourceforge.net (clever name, eh?). I'll be sending announcements of new versions, etc in need of translation on that list. My immediate target is the installation section of the manual and the actual application stuff... My hope is to get (we have a bunch of potential languages floating around as possibles) a system going: application+install -> manual+website (hosted at CountryCode.koha.org) -> template+'maintenance' translation At the moment, I'm asking that we only consider supporting languages with at least two (active, willing) people on http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=TranslationTeams, which has a list of anyone interested in doing translation effort. If you know someone interested in a language, and they aren't on that list -- I don't know about them! PleasePleasePlease put them on that list... thanks. The 2 person guideline is taken from Apache, and I'd prefer -- for credibility reasons, and support/upgrade reasons as Koha evolves -- to not support anything without two people interested. At the moment: There is a fr.koha.org (thanks to Paul) getting underway. Italian is probably our next candidate for a CountryCode.koha.org. -------------Documentation------------- Rosalie (who has also been our Peerless Proofreader for the first version of the manual) is producing fabulous stuff for the next version of the manual, which will hopefully include the Librarian's manual. Look for that to hit the website real/soon/now :). Also, as soon as that is done, I'll probably be cleaning up some of what we have formatting, etc wise. I expect to have some case study information being collected soon (more to come on that). Lastly, I'd like to clean up the wiki soon -- any comments? I'd also like to try again to do a features/version list since we've shaken things up with the early arrival of some things. -------------Community------------- Pat has done a fabulous job of getting notices out to places like http://www.usrlib.info and http://www.oss4lib.org. We also have members involved in the umbrella group/project the Callimachus Group (http://www.callimachus.org) which I'm helping organize to promote some shared effort in regards to things like conferences.

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67 ------- Additional Comments From am12(a)bolis.com 2002-07-12 02:24 ------- Better yet, the new code hopefully will have some new subroutines in C4::Z3950.pm along the lines of addz3950server, getz3950serverlist, etc. Please? A command-line junkie should be able to have/create/use a 5-line wrapper script to those. And this way the command-line script will work with both MySQL and PostgreSQL. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

Let's keep the application consistent, and all data in the database. The only thing that should be in /etc/koha.conf is minimal bootstrap info to find the code and database. All other operational data should be in the DB. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

I certainly agree it would be a whole lot easier for me to just create a section of koha.conf for z39.50 servers or something like that, but the librarians might prefer it to be editable in the web interface? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
