MARC21 missing and obsoleted fields
by Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

Hi, working on frameworks translation I decided to take a look at LOC [1] searching for updates. I found that the following fields are absent in default and optional frameworks: '085','264','336','337','338','344','345','346','347','363', '377','380','381','382','383','384','542','588','751','882', '883' (the last one is brand new, September 2012) Also, the following are absent in LOC documents, many obsoleted or for OCLC/RLIN, save the third that is a mistake I known for years but failed to report. '009','011','01e','023','029','039','049','087','091','092', '096','098','099','211','212','214','241','261','262','265', '301','302','303','304','305','308','315','350','359','400', '410','411','440','503','509','512','517','523','527','537', '543','570','582','652','705','715','755','840','851','859', '870','871','872','873' Questions: 1) Is it ok to write a patch to add missing fields? 2) Is it ok to write a patch to remove non-LOC fields? Or do you think is better to keep them? 3) Most of 9XX has no use in Koha, Can it be cleaned?

Customize Koha to a P2P library
by Haowei Ruan 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Hi, just wondering how easy it is to customize Koha to function as a peer-to-peer library i.e. a user is not only a borrower but also a librarian who could maintain his or her own collection of books which are made available to be loaned to other users. Any advice or hints would be appreciated! cheers Haowei

Koha 3.12 timeline
by Jared Camins-Esakov 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Good morning. I have returned from vacation and found, to my horror, that time has not stood still in my absence, and we are now only three and a half months out from the 3.12 release. In light of the implacable march of time, I wanted to provide an update on the release timeline for Koha 3.12. There are four important dates: * Feature slush - March 15. Starting on March 15, any patch adding a new feature or enhancement which has not already been attached to a bug on Bugzilla (or submitted to Koha via git branch) will not be considered for inclusion in Koha 3.12. * Feature freeze - March 22. Starting on March 22, no further features or enhancements will be pushed. It will be bugfixes only from here on out. This will allow our Docs Manager to revise the help files to reflect the features of 3.12 prior to the string freeze, below. * String freeze - May 1. Starting on May 1, no patch (other than security patches) changing translatable strings will be accepted for Koha 3.12.0. * Koha 3.12.0 Release - May 22. On May 22, Koha 3.12.0 will be released, and the 3.12 branch handed off to the 3.12 RMaint. Depending on the preferences of the 3.14 RM, 3.12 may be branched on May 22, or 3.12 may be branched earlier. Recap: March 15 - feature slush March 22 - feature freeze May 1 - string freeze May 22 - release Reminder: we have a lot of patches that need attention from testers. As of right now, 158 patches waiting for sign off, and 116 patches waiting for QA. Most are enhancements or new features, but there are also a bunch of bugfixes in there. Let's try to get all the worthy patches we already have into 3.12!

A browser-based (javascript) non-Latin IME for Koha
by Indranil Das Gupta 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi all, I have a requirement to support about cataloging and searching on about 6 Indian languages on Koha v 3.10. The GoogleIndicTransliteration syspref seems to have been discarded even though doc-head-close.inc has its reference. While it is always possible to use a OS-based system input method, my client has a preference for a browser-based one, I have taken Wikimedia foundation's jquery IME (https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime/#readme) - a dual-licensed javascript library - GPLv2+ and MIT licensed. the IME is a port of the Narayam IME used for non-Latin input on Wikipedia. I've done the following: 1. Installed the latest jquery.ime git master into 3.10 code tree. 2. modified lib/C4/Templates.pm to add an additional 'jqueryimepath' parameter/variable 3. added the necessary lines to includes/doc-head-close.inc 4. changed the path to the IME 'rules' files to point to koha source tree location, in order to work correctly after being served by mod_rewrite What I'm about to do: 1. Add a new syspref to toggle use of the JQuery IME, so that users have an option to enable / disable it. I would like to contribute this as a feature to the upcoming Koha release(s). Question: How do I do this? Cluesticks/bats anyone? ;-) cheers, -indra -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Definition of Zebra indexes without bib1 att
by Mathieu Saby 28 Jan '13

28 Jan '13

Hello I thought it was mandatory for creating an index in Zebra to edit 3 files (record.abs, ccl.properties, bib1.att). cf http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Understanding_Zebra_indexing But I was surprised to find some indexes that are actually usable (in search menu) without any definition in bib1.att. They are all related to UNIMARC coded information (fields 100/105/115/116): video-mt 1=Video-mt Video-mt video-mt Graphics-type 1=Graphic-type Graphics-support 1=Graphic-support Type-Of-Serial 1=Type-Of-Serial Frequency-code 1=Frequency-code Regularity-code 1=Regularity-code Material-type 1=Material-type Literature-Code 1=Literature-Code Biography-code 1=Biography-code Illustration-code 1=Illustration-code Could somebody gives me some light? Does that mean defining a numeric attribute in bib1.att is a good practice, but not technically mandatory? Should this syntax be corrected? Regards, M.
