Idea for Koha documentation -- move sysprefs into an appendix
by Barton Chittenden 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

I've been wondering for a while if it would be a good idea to move the administration section farther back in the manual. As it stands, a new user, first reading through the manual will read through a page or two of introduction, and then get thrown straight into 600+ system preferences. I'm coming up on four years working with Koha, and I *almost* feel equipped to read through all of those, end-to-end. Of course no-one actually reads the manual that way; we tell people to browse the table of contents and cherry pick the parts that they find the most interesting, and expand their knowledge from there -- but maybe we could provide a friendlier more intuitive introduction which, pre-supposes that a reader is sitting in front of a system that is configured with some sane default settings, and gives a tour of Koha's features? That seems like a much friendlier approach. Just my two cents, --Barton

Hello QAers, Baptiste is leaving at the end of this week (and friday is national day here) Could someone from the QA team have a look at the patches ? https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17047 https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18618 They're not signed-off yet, but if there's some QA to do, it's better if Baptiste can do it before leaving. No need to change the status of the patch if you QA, just comment and Baptiste will (hopefully) fix the problems you could find ! <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18618> Thanks <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18618> -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Elastic test server request
by Jonathan Druart 06 Jul '17

06 Jul '17

Hi, I would like to have a test server setup with Elastic. A sandbox could do the job and I guess it could be done very easily. Who is willing to provide that to the community? I have created a task on the kanban: https://tree.taiga.io/project/joubu-koha-rm-1711/us/107 Cheers, Jonathan

Public list permissions
by David Cook 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi all, Wouldn't it be nice if you could designate library staff, besides the owner, who could contribute entries to a public list? Is anyone already working on that functionality? It's been requested by one of our libraries, and I think it makes sense, although I suspect it's not an insignificant amount of work to do.

koha-http.conf designed for Apache 2.2
by David Cook 05 Jul '17

05 Jul '17

Hi all, I've included the details in this bug report below, but basically I'm wondering if we should update etc/koha-http.conf to use Apache 2.4 instead of Apache 2.2. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18883 David Cook Systems Librarian Prosentient Systems 72/330 Wattle St Ultimo, NSW 2007 Australia Office: 02 9212 0899 Direct: 02 8005 0595
