Need to improve anti-spam for opac-suggestions
by David Cook 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hi all, It looks like we may need to improve anti-spam for opac-suggestions.pl. A negative captcha was added with https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3144, but I'm noticing a distributed spam attack which appears to either be wise to the "negcap" field or is occasionally lucky to accidentally not put any data with that parameter. Back in the day, we decided not to go with a positive captcha for accessibility reasons. I suppose we do have a positive captcha in the patron self-registration (I think) so maybe we should add one here. Or. think of something else clever. Ideas?

Z39.50 Search Point error
by Akpokodje Vera N. 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Urgent please! I will need help on how to get my Z39.50 protocol back to work to enable my library continue with Copy Cataloging. I configured the Z39.50 search point in the past and it had worked perfectly well until some few days ago when i started receiving "not found" error message for any material searched for (I do not know what went wrong). I have deleted all the libraries (Library of Congress,etc) added to the Z39.50 and re- added them all over again but still get the same error. This problem is delaying our work! Someone should please help me on this issue. Thank you Akpokodje Vera N. Systems Librarian / Analyst University of Jos Library,Jos, Plateau State.

Hi, IRC is flooded with spam. It would be nice to have somebody with op rights for EU mornings. There is nobody in the OFTC support channel either at this time. :/ -- Mirko

Mailman thoughts. Switching to discourse ?
by Paul Poulain 05 Feb '16

05 Feb '16

Hello the list, Laurent, our sysadmin is updating our infrastructure (used for both BibLibre & community things). jenkins just moved to a new server, and he's now thinking of moving mailman server. He asked me a question that seems to be a good one: what about switching to a new tool like discourse https://www.discourse.org/ I don't know well this tool, but it seems to have many interesting features. Your opinion? -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Hi, I'm working on this new feature but I have some concerns about its implementation. I made a small, proof-of-concept, patch, and would love to have some feedback before continuing to work on it. It's in bug 15516 [1] and my concerns are described there, next to the test plan :) Thanks.

KohaCon16 - Registrations & Call for proposals Open
by BOUIS Sonia 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

Hi, We have a user association in France, called KohaLa, and we try to communicate about Koha through our website and a list, to organize events to promote it and to help users to meet and to discuss. We have organized training for association members. I would be interested in feedback from other users union to know what they are organizing. Would anybody be interested in this subject apart me? Would anybody willing to propose a common proposal about this subject? I think that it would be more interesting to have different feedbacks? And, on a different subject, several libraries in France are really interested in the progress of ElasticSearch in Koha. I imagine that someone will propose a proposal about it ?

Suggestion for the "git so" command
by Owen Leonard 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

The wiki has a good command for signing off multiple patches at once: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Git_bz_configuration#Signing_off_2 I have a suggestion for an improvement: Prepend "[SIGNED-OFF]" to the first line of each. Is that possible? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
