Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Koha Manual in Git
by Nicole Engard 19 Oct '09

I misunderstood the difference between copyright and licensing (as in the GPL) and for that reason - and the fact that the 3.2 is so different from 3.0 - I will be re-writing the 3.2 manual from scratch (which will also force me to review every single section in more detail). For right now I'm about to update the version that is in Git to include LibLime in the copyright tag (since it does include content from the old 3.0/3.2 manuals). For the future, I will be the main copyright holder on the manual and when the Koha Foundation is formed I will sign my copyright over to the Foundation as I don't think any one company should own the copyright - instead it should be community owned (feel free to keep this email so that you have documentation of my promise). Other copyright holders will be ByWater Solutions and BibLibre and anyone else who helps me write bits - or contributes their documentation for me to include in the manual. I hope this is acceptable to all - I think it's the best way to support the community and the best way to force me to make sure ever 3.2 feature is accurately documented :) Thanks everyone for your understanding and support so far, Nicole C.

Koha Manual in Git
by Nicole Engard 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

I have some awesome news. As you know I'm working with both ByWater and BibLibre. Well thanks to BibLibre, we now have a git repo for the Koha 3.2 Manual: http://git.biblibre.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=kohadocs;a=summary -- and I'm working on converting everything (and updating everything) over to DocBook so that it will be much easier for translation and publishing in multiple outlets. What you'll see in the repo so far is a few images and the start of the docbook file. I am working on it daily to try and get all of the content over. You'll probably see me asking questions so that I can improve on what was written so far - and fill in gaps. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!! Thank to BibLibre (and specifically Henri-Damien) for helping get this up and running so that I can easily share my work with you all. Thanks Nicole C. Engard Documentation Manager

KOHA and computer reservation software
by Adrea Lund 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hello, (I'm posting this to more than one KOHA list - sorry if you get multiple copies) I work at the Grand County Public Library is Moab, UT. We are a Liblime customer and we have been using KOHA in our library since May 2009. We would like to know if there are any libraries that are using computer reservation software integrated with KOHA to manage patron sessions on their public computers. Please email my library director - Carrie Valdes at carrie(a)moablibrary.org with information about what you are using and what level of pc management it provides. If you are not currently doing this, but would like to be and you are interested in this as a development project please let us know. We've been told about a very basic open source computer reservation software option, and we are also considering non-open source products like the reservation software from Envisionware. I'm getting ready to leave on vacation until Nov. 2nd and I will have unreliable email access while I'm gone. So, please direct emails to my library director until November. Thank you so much for your help! Adrea Adrea Lund Head of Adult Services Grand County Public Library 257 E. Center St. Moab, UT 84532 435-259-1111 ext11

Upgrade Koha/2.2.9 to Koha/3
by Rick Welykochy 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

HI all I am looking for doco on upgrading a Koha/2.2.9 install to Koha 3. Well, actually just the database. I note this from the INSTALL file: UPGRADE ======= If you are upgrading from a previous installation of Koha 3, you can use the following: perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log make make test sudo make upgrade Searching the wiki.koha.org doesn't turn up any more info about the upgrade process. Could someone pls point me at some more info about this? Thanks, Rick W -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services "A Ministry of Defence guide to preventing information leaking into the public domain has leaked into the public domain."
