generic Koha data export format?
by Reed Wade 02 Jun '10

Maybe this is already solved but-- It seems like it would be fun if there was a nicely generic format defined for Koha data dumps. Is it correct that right now this is a DB specific task? I'm thinking some format that would be good for-- - working across different versions of Koha (within reason) - portable backups - a stable interchange format when migrating between Koha and other ILSs - the case where some library is running v2 and it's really, really finally time for them to move to v12 and they now have the resources to do it -reed

I feel it would have been a good inclusion in the newsletter, or the bugs database contained email addresses of reporters and assignees that probably could have been used to contact them. Anyway, I've registered on bugs.koha-community.org now. How do I get my bugs reattached, please?

Hi, The next general meeting of the Koha project is scheduled for tomorrow, 2 June 2010, at 10:00 UTC+0. The page for the meeting, including current agenda and links to time converters, can be found at: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_Meeting,_June_2_2010 At present, the agenda is: 1. Update on Roadmap to 3.2. 2. Update on Roadmap to 3.0. 3. Follow-up on actions from General Meeting, May 5 2010. 4. Discuss switching licensing for all new code submissions to Affero General Public License (AGPL) 1. AGPL does not prevent unfriendly vendor lock-in (still achievable through access control, particularly to the databases) while introducing onerous burdens on friendly hosters. http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2010-May/023816.html 5. (If time permits) Revisit vendor listing requirements on koha-community.org. 1. Anti-privatisation requirement (private domains or trademarks, legal proceedings) http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2010-May/023785.html 2. Linkback requirement - also http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2010-May/023785.html 6. info(a)koha.org address: various places reference an info(a)koha.org address whose destination is unknown. Should we have an info(a)koha-community.org? If so, where should it go? 1. forward to the main Koha mailing list? 2. replace references to info(a)koha.org with themain Koha mailing list address? 3. establish a new koha-info mailing list that info(a)koha-community.org forwards to? 4. have it be an auto-responder that directs the inquiry to the project website? 7. Agree times of next meetings. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com
