Order from Chaos, maybe
by Nicholas Rosasco 29 May '02

29 May '02

After seeing Rachel's (thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou for that info. It seriously demystifys some things for me at least) wiki posted Katipo Plan, I have gone and Japanese chef'd the Roadmap (see the Sliced and Diced link off the original) to reflect her comments and (hopefully) Katipo's priorities/client requests ... particularly her (painfully correct) "ack! you want one release manager to handle all of _that_" line of thought. My hope was to divvy it into each version (yes, they are un-numbered... if someone wants to go back and adjust, go ahead) getting a major and a minor goal. Major features are usually things like MARC, minor things like shelf lists. The only exception of the moment is the current Katipo version, which has all kinds of nifty things, including the early (and highly groovy) templating and info-display-options-controls stuff. Is Jeremy on the devel list? Rachel, any comments (esp on if I've got the Katipan bullet points right?)? Ref'd: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=RachelsKatipoPlan New: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=SlicedAndDiced Old: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaRoadmap [The old is intact, for the moment, for comparison reasons, and anti-stupidity reasons (ie, to prevent me from losing a feature in cutting and pasting)] Nick

Katipo Koha projects on the Koha developers site
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 29 May '02

29 May '02

Hi I've made a list of the projects that Katipo has "on the books" for koha over the next month to six weeks at http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=RachelsKatipoPlan Jeremy is our project manager on these jobs, so I've asked him to do an update on it. My thoughts at the moment are that it would probably be useful for people to see what the "spec" for each project is, and to issue any warning etc about duplicate work or whatever.

Thank you for the nomination, I am very flattered to have been considered, but I don't think I'm the person for the job of Dictator, Benevolent or otherwise. I will get the Users' manual done, but I lack the technical knowledge for the main job. Rosalie Blake

Need help on CVS branches
by Alan Millar 25 May '02

25 May '02

Hi- I'm confused on how to work on the 1.2 branch. I've been reading the docs at cvsbook.red-bean.com, but it doesn't match with what I'm seeing in the koha cvs. I made a new directory to pull my stuff into: mkdir koha-cvs-12dev cd koha-cvs-12dev If I do this: cvs checkout -r rel-1-2 koha then I get files that are definitely snapshots from a week ago, but the cvs docs imply that any changes I make will go back into the main branch. Also, I can't get the koha-html directory; it says it is getting it but doesn't create anything If I do this: cvs -b rel_1_2 checkout koha I get koha, and I can get koha-html too, but the files are all the latest main branch versions. Help! What am I missing here? Thanks. - Alan -- ---- Alan Millar --==> am12(a)bolis.com <==--

OpenBook
by Nicholas Rosasco 24 May '02

24 May '02

As an FYI, I checked the address I keep for queries from the FAQ, and low and behold, someone handed me a pointer to the openbook technical beta tarball, and said he was interested in advancing the project. I said we were moving to incorporate most of their ideas, anyway, and that as far as I knew it was dead. Idly, we may eventually want to write some sort of conversion util so these people can move to Koha. I'd suggest if we had a new developer show up we might "start them off" on such a thing. Disclaimer: Just a thought (from someone busily investigating the fridge with one hand, and typing with the other). Sooner or later I'll arrange for the tarball to live in our CVS tree, with a Big Ole' Note saying it isn't supported. Nick

If you've been mentioned for (or are interested in) the Benevolent Dictator post, would you mind dropping either a 'thank you, no' or a candidacy-comments email to the list? Just so we know who is interested and who wants off any potential ballots before next Thursday? Thanks Nick

Those of you wanting to send get well cards to Paul, I got ahold of his address (some of you may've already heard this, for which I apologize for overlap... but I've not seen it on the list). Paul Poulain Beauvallon Cédre Bât 2 155 Chemin de Morgiou 13009 Marseille France I also gather we've had a Birthday on the devel list, but I didn't hear which of us had it.... what I get (again!) for being out of town.
