At the moment it seems to me like there is a fundamental problem with package "koha-common" 22.11.05-2 when it cannot properly configure rabbitmq-server on a completely new machine.

Timeouts when doing stocktake/inventory
by David Cook 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hi all, Recently, I've had several libraries getting timeouts when using the stocktake/inventory feature. The timeout isn't coming from the server-side, but rather from the HTTP forward proxies being used by these libraries (or rather the much larger organisations to which the libraries belong). They appear to timeout after about 55-60 seconds of inactivity. So far the stocktake/inventory feature is the key pain point. I'm wondering if we should aim at moving at least some of the stocktake/inventory work into background processing, or at the very least staged processing, so fewer steps are happening during a single HTTP request. Before I do any work on it, I'd like to get a sense of what other people think is a good idea for this feature.

Author search links on 110 and 710...
by David Cook 11 May '23

11 May '23

Hi all, When clicking on an author search link, only the "a" subfield is used, but corporate authors often need both the "a" and "b" subfields in order to differentiate between corporate authors in a meaningful way. For instance, "110 $a United States. $b Court of Appeals" vs "110 $a United States. $b Congress". Another thought I had was that we should do an au,phr search on the same text that we're displaying on the page. What do folk think of that?

Reorganising the contents of the manual - feedback
by David Nind 05 May '23

05 May '23

Late last year, I did some work on reorganising the contents of the manual. I thought I would ask for feedback on the development list first, before seeking feedback on the main one. Currently, the contents of the manual is a long list of modules/features/topics in a seemingly random order. This makes it harder for Koha Community members to see what is documented, and find what they are looking for. The proposed reorganisation has these main sections on the manual landing/home page: - What's new - Getting started - Using Koha - Implementing Koha - Installing Koha - System preferences Further work is required for each of these sections, but the existing manual content mostly fits under each of these (and can be updated over time). A document about the proposed contents sets out some more details - feel free to add your comments, questions or ideas: Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KyrsMVWG_kcVvbFsUkysRC9oovIbFCNTNgCwSyM…> or Framapad doc <https://annuel.framapad.org/p/koha-manual-contents-reorganisation> You can view the proposed changes on this demo site <https://davidnind.gitlab.io/koha-docs-reorganise/> (it was generated in December last year, so doesn't reflect the changes made since then to the current manual). The bug for this is 32391 <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32391>. I would welcome any feedback, either positive or negative. Feel free to comment on the bug, add comments or questions to the documents, or reply to the list (or directly to me). David Nind | david(a)davidnind.com m. +64 21 0537 847

The conference will feature three days of talk streams (August 14th to 16th) and two additional days of workshops and special meetings (August 17th to 18th). Among all the usual things you know about KohaCon, this time, we have a unique event that gives an opportunity for the Koha and Perl communities to unite, exchange insights, and forge (unwind together!) new connections. As a valued member of the Koha community of all of you, we need your expertise! 🌟 We also need your help to present Koha to the Perl community in the best possible way, as Koha could become the flagship product for the Perl community. To make that happen, we need to unite, present ourselves, and share all the ideas we can come up with! (By the way, you can propose ideas through our channels or by reaching out directly to the main organizer, Andrii, at nugged(a)gmail.com) There's only one week left before our call for talks closes on April 30th. Don't hesitate to submit your draft ideas or works in progress here: ➡️ CALL FOR TALKS SUBMISSION PAGE: perlkohacon.fi/cft <https://perlkohacon.fi/Call-For-Talks-Perl-Koha-Helsinki-August-2023.html> After you make a placeholder for a talk (i.e. send the form), we will know this, and confirm with you later, and this will help us to select the best talks, make the conference most interesting and useful, and plan our schedule. Afterward, you can progress with your talk development further, this means no need to have the talk ready in one week, so no panic. No-panic more: if you want, you can talk to our dedicated team, who is ready to help you refine your talk and provide guidance if needed. Reach out to us at perlkohacon(a)gmail.com 💌. If you have experience in Koha or around, but no experience in stage-action: we value first more, so we'll try to cover your back! Mind that talk is only one part of the reason and only ignition point to share your experience: you might find mates and interested people after your presentation, so that might be just the beginning of something greater! We will talk all about expansion, improvement, and experience exchange, and these are engaging topics for your talk (but keep your experience in priority of anything below): Best practices, tips, hacks, and challenges in using Koha in the library Koha software development, including integrations with other systems The future of BIBFRAME, MARC, and Linked Open Data in Koha Features needed for Koha to become more capable, which the Perl community can contribute to, such as ILL, ERM, and others Upcoming or requested Koha feature developments: proposals, progress, and collaboration opportunities As this will be an event with many IT professionals and developers from the Perl community, we will also cover geekier and dev-related topics. However, we will have one separate stream fully dedicated to libraries (usage, pro-tips, and KohaCon-related topics). You will meet library and Koha experts from 🇫🇮Finland, a country that has already switched hundreds of libraries to Koha, as well as experts from ByWater Solutions, BibLibre, PTFS Europe, Koha-and-library IT-topic activists from France, Germany, Sweden, and more. Even from Ukraine (consider there will be something special about this). This conference is an excellent opportunity to make meaningful connections with the Perl community and explore how these relationships can benefit the Koha community! 🤝 Don't forget, August is an ideal time for a summer vacation in Helsinki with your family. ☀️ Extend your stay over the weekends to experience the city's culture and attractions while attending the conference. We will have a partners program and more coordinated activities (might be even sponsored, but we need more participants and attendees to make that happen!). Stay connected by following us on social media, there, we will publish more and announce things that we will have these weeks soon before the conference (yes, something gifty or nifty is planned). We'll target as main social channel Telegram one: - t.me/PerlKohaCon and encourage you to use this geeky, fast, and comfortable groups, channels, and messaging platform. But feel free to join us on any of these platforms for news and updates: - Facebook.com/PerlKohaCon - Twitter.com/PerlKohaCon - Instagram.com/PerlKohaCon - LinkedIn.com/showcase/PerlKohaCon - (Mastodon) Fosstodon.org/@perlkohacon Feel free to use the platform where you have the most connections to share and spread the word! *🙏 "Kiitos" - this means "Thank you" in Finnish.* Btw, and sounds as it reads, no fine prints! Please share this message with colleagues and friends who might be interested in presenting at the conference or attending. Together, let's make this event a significant and enriching experience for both the Koha and Perl communities! 🚀 ... and we look forward to seeing you in Helsinki! Warm regards, The Perl and Koha Conference Organizing Team === Andrii and the National Library of Finland Koha team!
