Reading on the Roles page: > Question about QA team = retired RMs have proven that they have the skills to QA patches.

Hello I signed off some days ago a corrective patch for a problem described in bz 7129. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7129 I don't know how Bugzilla is supposed to behave in this case : as it was an old bug, already Pushed, so I am not sure the QA team will see the new attachement waiting QA...

Note, I don't have 3.6.7. on any sandbox, so this is based on 3.8.x but I am fairly sure, from memory, that the same restriction applies. Of course, if you click on the individual biblio, you do get the corporate author 110$a. Best - Paul

by Rafael Antonio 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Dear members, All of us know some difficulties with ZEBRA mainly for UNIMARC flavour. Some friends are pushing SOLR as an alternative but now we are seeing ELASTICSEARCH. What you think about it ? I have another question about replacing ZEBRA. How do we maintain Z39.50 server ? best regards, Rafael Antonio

Translator tool, changing ?
by Paul Poulain 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hello koha-devel & koha-translate, Users translating Koha to french are regularly reporting that pootle is a poor tool, not very efficient. Someone suggested transifex, that is free for OpenSource softwares (https://www.transifex.com) I just opened an account, created a koha project, added french translation for 3.12 It seems *much* more friendly & efficient than pootle. Is there someone wanting to investigate a little bit more this tool ? (if yes, create an account & drop me a mail with your transifex nick) Could switching to this tool be a good idea ? -- Paul POULAIN - BibLibre http://www.biblibre.com Free & Open Source Softwares for libraries Koha, Drupal, Piwik, Jasper

[QA] koha-qa is regularly updated
by Jonathan Druart 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hi QA team, Note that the koha-qa script is regularly updated. For example, a single quote strings test is now present and a big bug on the line number (on the line number of forbidden patterns) has been fixed. The code is available on the github of Koha-Community ( https://github.com/Koha-Community/koha-qa-test) I would also like to take this opportunity to tell you that if you have some ideas of improvements (some others tests), I could implement it! Freely, Jonathan
