At last, I should have some spare (hah!) time coming up and looking for something manageable and productive to work on. Is there still a need for HTML Code upgrade to CSS and HTML 4 compliancy? If so, then where is best place to start? If not, then any suggestions for anything along similar lines? R.

Response to the meeting

Hi, Just reading back on Koha meeting logs - sorry I couldn't make it today, I picked this out of the logs.... <paul> one un-direct question : where are you katipo with your "text images" on the website ? are they ready to be included in koha himself . We have done text links for the Koha website (Koha.org) We haven't done anything recently on the main menu includes for Koha - either intranet or OPAC, I was half waiting for the templating stuff to be done. What is needed? Some blank images you can put your own words on? Or to change the code so that the text is just text, and then the words can be changed more easily without a graphics programme? Cheers R _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org
