Need French translation for a feature I'm working on please.
by Michael Hafen 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

I'm getting ready to submit patches for a new feature. I need a kind French speaker to translate a couple strings for me before I go on. "If set a date field is displayed on the Hold screen of the Staff Interface, allowing the hold date to be set in the future." and "If set, along with the AllowHoldDateInFuture system preference, OPAC users can set the date of a hold to be in the future." Thanks. -- Michael Hafen Systems Analyst and Programmer Washington County School District Utah, USA for Koha checkout http://development.washk12.org/gitweb/ or git://development.washk12.org/koha

3.2 roadmap feature list updated
by Galen Charlton 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I have updated the 3.2 roadmap on the wiki [1] with the list of RFCed (and a few non-RFCed) features that I have reason to believe will be submitted by the freeze date of 6 September 2009. I request that all contributors of features to Koha 3.2 review this and edit as necessary to add or remove submissions that are expected to make the freeze date. You may also email me with your updates. For those features whose only RFC as such is a bug in bugs.koha.org, it will suffice to send me the bug number(s).

nice stylesheet for staff interface
by paul POULAIN 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi everyone (and maybe owen 1st :-) ) What about doing a nice stylesheet for staff interface. When we demo Koha, we often have ppl saying : " :( it's not sexy, just white and black, with a few highlighted links". I'm sure that with the quality of the HTML, we could do something very eyecandy ! any volunteer ? owen ? (not me, i'm well known to be very poor for that :'( ) -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

New module dependency: IPC::Cmd
by Galen Charlton 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, For those tracking HEAD, please note that I've pushed a patch requiring a new dependency on IPC::Cmd. As this module is used by the web installer, the database update script will not work until you've installed the dependency. IPC::Cmd is one of several modules on CPAN that support easily executing a program and capturing its return status, standard error, and standard output. It is a core module in Perl 5.10, meaning that users of that version of Perl already have it, but will need to be added by users of 5.8, typically by running $ sudo cpan IPC::Cmd I've filed a request to have this module packaged on Debian for Perl 5.8 users. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com
