QA topic experts
by Katrin Fischer 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi all, at the last Developer IRC meeting we discussed the idea of "QA topic experts". QA topic experts will be people the QA team can approach to help out on patches for specific areas of Koha, that for example are hard to test without a certain environment. A second sign off from a QA topic expert will count towards QA with additional code review from a core QA team member where needed. We've found 2 experts for 18.11 so far: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_18.11 Please let me know if you are interested in joining us as a QA topic expert for a certain topic! Katrin

KohaCon18 Portland, Oregon Air Quality
by David Cook 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi all, I don't know why it's just occurred to me to mention it now, but with Kohacon coming up quite soon, it's worth keeping an eye on the air quality and planning ahead: https://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.local_city <https://airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=airnow.local_city&cityid=160> &cityid=160. At the moment, it's rated as "Unhealthy" with a health message of "Health Message: People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion." Here's hoping that the air quality improves in the next couple of weeks. I think the air quality has been bad for a couple of weeks now already, but again Brendan would have the best info about this.

Koha users wiki page outdated, use HEA
by Paul Poulain 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

Hello, someone pointed me the https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers page. The French libraries you can see here are so outdated that it's funny: most libraries are supposed to be in version 2.x, supported by me (not BibLibre. So more than 10 years old data...) Other pages are also highly outdated, almost nothing with the current version numbering schema. And now we have HEA (available since 3.18 IIRC) I propose to: * drop an email to all contacts saying "you're the contact for the wiki page https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers, the information here is outdated, please activate HEA (<<some explanations about hea>>)" * update the wiki pages to add a big warn on top of each, saying "this page is outdated, see hea.koha-community.org") Any objection ? -- Paul Poulain, Associé-gérant / co-owner BibLibre, Services en logiciels libres pour les bibliothèques BibLibre, Open Source software and services for libraries

Requesting feedback on changing the default behavior for loading the OPAC cart popup
by Alex Buckley 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi all I am writing in regards to bug 21174 (Sysprefs to enable the opening of OPAC cart in one click - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21174) In my commit on this bug report I implement a syspref which when enabled allows OPAC users to click on the cart icon once and the cart pop-up is loaded. Katrin, Owen and myself would like to know: does anyone really love the way the cart popup currently loads? That is you click on the cart icon a dropdown box appears saying 'Items in your cart: ...' and you have to click on that dropdown option to load the cart popup. We would like to know the opinion on the community for making clicking on the cart icon once and loading the cart popup the default behavior. i.e. make this updated interaction the default. The dropdown box saying 'Items in your cart: ...' probably isn't necessary because in the commits on the aforementioned bug report show the number of items in the cart to the right of the cart icon - so the user knows how many items are in their cart. Please let us know your thoughts on the bug report 21174. Many thanks, Alex

Storing non-MARC data in biblio_metadata
by David Cook 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hi all, How do people feel about storing non-MARC metadata in the biblio_metadata table? Typically, the "format" column contains the string "marcxml" and the "metadata" column contains the MARCXML text, but it seems like someone could put in "RDF/XML" and RDFXML text instead? The one barrier to that is the "marcflavour" column which is a "NOT NULL" column. I mean. that could be an empty string. but I wonder if there's a way of de-MARCing that column? I'm trying to think of analogs for other scenarios. I mean in the case of RDF. you might have RDF/XML or JSON-LD. which are separate formats but they're both "RDF". I wonder if "marcflavour" could be better known as "schema", or "model", or "standard", or something else? I know choosing wording is hard. For instance, MARC::File::XML (https://metacpan.org/pod/MARC::File::XML) refers to UNIMARC and MARC21 as formats. Dublin Core and MODS are often referred to as schemas. MARC21 is often called a standard. According to http://www.loc.gov/marc/unimarctomarc21.html, UNIMARC and MARC21 are formats. RDF gets called a data model with different data serialization formats. I know it would probably be a lot of work to change "marcflavour" to something else, especially since we've all been familiar with "marcflavour" for many years now, but I'm thinking maybe it's time we change that name.
