Clarification of breeding farm metaphor
by lars＠rovaniemelainen.com 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Could someone be so kind as to write a few words about the breeding farm metaphor or to point a specific subsection of the documentation where this is addressed? I have a vague idea but would like just a little more clarification. -Lars ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through L-secure: http://www.l-secure.net/

Proposed features - Physics UNLP (II)
by Emiliano Marmonti 19 Sep '04

19 Sep '04

Dear Rachel Could you tell me which navigator are you using? Looks like Plone's css is incompatible with some old navigator versions. :-( Anuway, I 've posted a light version over http://biblio.fisica.unlp.edu.ar/uno.html The question about receipts is referred to make configurable receipts (in our case must print double receipt with some data, other brach choices to print in the same way but fewer detailed data). Perhaps also could be important to see the advances made by Nelsonville's students and tomorrow dicuss if all of this could work as a sort of repository of well documented (catalogued) "features" that could be added to specific Koha versions (or if isn't there sufficient interest to be added to cvs). Regards and will "see" at irc ;-) Emiliano.

Volunteers for the next round of Koha work....
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 19 Sep '04

19 Sep '04

Hi all, tommorrow we are having our first Koha IRC meeting in a while - Monday 20th GMT 1900, on #koha. One of the things up for discussion is the need for a few more "roles" within the Koha community, in particular we could go a web-edtor. Someone to sort out the website, make links to the various Wikis etc, and where necessary take some of the more "stable" info off the wiki's and replicate it a bit "Fancier" on the website. SO if anyone thinks they'd like that role - it would involve working closely I suspect with some of the Katipo staff (not a bad thing I assure you :-), then please put your hand up. Cheers Rachel -- _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications MANAGING DIRECTOR 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

I have an associate (librarian) who wants to test install the Windows version of KOHA and needs assistance. I run the Linux verison(testing). What's the status of the Windows version, and should I send him over to the irc for live assistance? Thanks, Mark L.

Summary of Docs Discussion
by etome-nsr＠mail.korksoft.com 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

Not so long ago, a person or two started a discussion about Docs... below is requested summary/notes from the offlist documentation conversation.... a little late (email hiccup on my part). [Those of you interested in the working-space for the formal manual, for some reason it seems to be offline, tho' Mike's server is up. Mike? :) please help??! : ) Thanks] --------- (Excuse the choppy-ness of below - the discussion wandered a bit.) A formal manual and most likely some other goodies do indeed "belong" in the docs/ dir for 2.0 The set in that dir (should) get(s) updated as part of the official-release process and should be generated from the wiki Mike Reavey's currently hosting, creating a docs set frozen with a Koha official release. The earlier, original Koha wiki is more a tool for development notes (being less rigid - the one Mike hosts is designed for documentation in XML/SGML). The working "online" help effort lives there as well [this is Paul's really good idea!). The manual wiki is very rough, and is a draft at best. Login info for those interested is available -- please drop me a line (more a function of keeping us from blowing up Mike's machine with our enthusiasm!). Whitepaper/installation/etc type contributions, plus long life stuff like architectural notes etc should eventually have a presence at the manual-wiki site. At the moment, useful material lives at: the Skemotah.com site (which archives the migration notes,etc for us right now) the Koha wiki Koha.org (but NOT the manual there, it is for pre 2.0 versions) ------ As usual, thanks to everyone who loans us hosted-space, Nick ..your (hopefully briefly) tool poor docs person.
