ZOOM
by MJ Ray 21 May '03

21 May '03

My associate Mike Taylor just told me of http://zoom.z3950.org/ which I think may be useful to koha. How do we currently talk z3950? Do we use this at all? -- MJR http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ IM: slef(a)jabber.at This is my home web site. This for Jabber Messaging. How's my writing? Let me know via any of my contact details.

As I don't know you, it's exactly the kind of mail that is junk/spam and goes directly to trash. Anyway, the answer is : The number of item is stored nowhere. You can find it with a small sql request : select count(*) from items where biblionumber=? (or isbn=?, or title=? and author=?, or ...) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

1.9.3 now or next week ?
by paul POULAIN 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi, I can release 1.9.3 now. It will include : * z3950 search and import during biblio editing. * many, many bugfixes. and it will be the official feature freeze for 2.0 Or... I can wait a week to release it and have : * more bugfixes * a bulkmarcimport that works on MARC data (not the breeding farm import, the import for migration) (thanks to ron Wickersham that works on this) * maybe a bulkmarcimport for CSV datas (thanks to Esiee if they can send it to me). What do you prefer as users/testers ? Note : it could not include non-root install patch (from MJR) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Other marcformats - danmarc2
by Árni Loftsson 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hi. I am testing out Koha but I can't test on real data because it only has marc21 and unimarc. Here in denmark we use the danmarc2 marcformat which has some varations to the other 2. For example ISBN is field 021 in danmarc2 and 020 in marc21. If I want koha to understand danmarc2 what would it take. Is there some kind of definitiontable I can go to and edit or do I have to make changes in databasestructure etc. Árni Loftsson Librarian/Systemadministrator Skanderborg Public Library Denmark

Koha development efforts
by Pat Eyler 18 May '03

18 May '03

Several people have contacted me recently about working on Koha. With our current push to 2.0.0, I'd like to take a moment to get everybody working in the same direction. First, if you haven't done it yet, please sign up as a developer. This entails several things: * get an account at sourceforge and let me know what it is so that you can have CVS access * set up an account at bugs.koha.org so that you can submit, claim, and resolve bugs in our bugzilla system * sign up for at least the koha-devel list (you may also want to sign up for the bugzilla list, the cvs list, and/or the Koha list -- if you are multilingual, please sign up for the koha-translate list.) Next, please don't work on new functionality for the main Koha system at this point. Until we get 2.0.0 out the door, only Paul will be adding features to Koha (and not many). All of our work should be on bugs. If you want to fix something and don't see a bug report for it, please create one. If you are adding features for you local site, don't worry. Hold on to your changes. Once we've released 2.0.0, we can start folding in new features. The sooner we get the bug list cleared out, the sooner we can release 2.0.0. If you have a bit of spare time, please adopt a bug and put us out of its misery. Getting 2.0.0 done is going to be a big milestone for us. There are a lot of libraries looking pretty hard at Koha right now. 2.0.0 is going to be a big step in convincing them that Koha is ready. thanks, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org
