I agree and someone on my blog gave me a tip to improve it - so I certainly will change that. ------Original Message------ From: paul POULAIN Sender: koha-bounces(a)lists.katipo.co.nz Cc: koha-devel Cc: Koha-Mailinglist Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha Foundation Surveys Sent: Sep 21, 2009 11:39 AM Nicole Engard a écrit : > I will take all comments into play when creating the final survey. > my comment: I answered, but I think the long list 15? 20? items for the goals of the Foundations is too hard to fill.

Koha Foundation Surveys
by Nicole Engard 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hello all, I am sorry for the delay, I was out of town the past few days. Per our meeting on IRC earlier this week (http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09sep15) I have put together a survey with some foundation forming questions. English: http://opensource.web2learning.net/limesurvey/index.php?sid=68645&lang=en French: http://opensource.web2learning.net/limesurvey/index.php?sid=68645&lang=fr The survey was created using the open source survey tool - LimeSurvey - and so it requires that you have JS enabled. If you don't - you can use one of these PDF versions to view the questions and just email your answers. English: http://opensource.web2learning.net/Koha-English.pdf French: http://opensource.web2learning.net/Koha-French.pdf The reason I chose this survey tool was because it would allow for multiple languages, and it allows for some powerful analytics that I can then share with everyone - most obviously it's open source :) Also - you will see that when ranking options you have to rank all options - so just put the options you don't care about towards the end of your ranking. This survey will be active for 2 weeks and then I will put up the final survey - that gives us two weeks to do our research. This survey is open to any and all members of the Koha community - which means anyone with an interest in the future of Koha - whether they are using the software or active in development or not. Please feel free to forward these links on and share with others. Thanks Nicole C.

Rewriting the Dev_Week Reserves Updates
by Kyle Hall 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hey all, I'm rewriting my dev_week reserves patch for koha3 and I need some input on whether certain features I had are truly useful. So here they are: Expiration Date: An optional date after which the reserve would be automatically canceled. This one would be pretty easy. Set to Lowest priority: When the reserve was set to this it would always stay at the bottom of the reserves list, even if a new reserve was added. This one is a bit harder, but still very do-able.

RFC: Koha Book Cover System
by Kyle Hall 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hey All, Writing the LibraryThing book cover module has really got my brain in full gear. I've been thinking about how nice it would be to add an internal cover system to Koha. That way, a library could specify the exact cover they want if they so wish. Here's what I'm imagining. A new ItemImages.pm ( BookCovers.pm, BookJackets.pm, what have you... ) This new Covers module would be the sole interface for Koha for all cover systems ( Amazon, LibraryThing, Syndetics, etc. ) and would act as an interface between Koha and the book cover modules. Another module ( say LocalCovers ) would act as a caching system. Librarians would then at the time of cataloging, but able to search various sources for book jackets, and choose one to download and save for that bib record. A set of preferences would allow for a cascading selection of sources from which to display book covers. For example, a library could have the system set up to look for a locally stored book cover first. If one is not found, it checks LibraryThing for one, if one is not found there, it then uses an Amazon book cover. Possible Issues: Do any of the cover API's have Terms of Service that could pose a problem to such an system? ( For example, can we cache amazon.com images, or must they always be links? ) The existing C4::External modules would need to be modified. Where should local/cached covers be stored? Filesystem and/or MySQL blob? Any and all opinions welcome, Kyle http://www.kylehall.info Information Technology Crawford County Federated Library System ( http://www.ccfls.org )

mod_perl
by Miguel Angel Calvo Lázaro 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hello. I'm experimenting with mod_perl, accurately, with perl:: run and searches, to recharge I get this error: Attempt to reload C4/Auth.pm aborted.\nCompilation failed in require at /var/www/kohaorg/errors/500.pl line 21.\nBEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/www/kohaorg/errors/500.pl line 21.\n Do not know if someone is working under mod_perl. If not possible, I think it should be one of the main issues to be resolved. Miguel Angel Calvo

Offline circ tool [BibLibre coderun]
by paul POULAIN 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

Hi koha-dev, As you know, BibLibre is working (hard) on a coderun for 3.2 Jean-André (our last hired developer) has almost finished to work on a firefox extension for offline circ. It works pretty well, uses the .koc files structure defined by Kyle. As FF extension, it will be very easy to deploy and update. It should be improved in the next months, Jean-André is working on a wiki.koha.org page about improvements. Stay tuned. It will be contributed on git, of course, BUT for deployements the version will be downloaded from addons.mozilla.org (ie: the source code is useless for the Apache part of Koha) Cheers, -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
