Announcing ... New koha.org Website based on Plone
by Joshua Ferraro 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi all, We're pleased to announce that we've nearly finished migrating koha.org from Kea to the Plone Content Management System--the new site should be ready to launch by the end of this week. The new website, based on the Plone Content Management System, provides a number of advantages over the old website: 1. User Management -- anyone can sign up and add content to koha.org through the built-in review process. When you create an account and log in, you can begin adding content to koha.org (NOTE: your content will not display on the site until it has been approved by a moderator). Here are some examples of content you can add: * a new library listing on the Showcase page to make your library show up on the map * new Koha event from Events * new Koha news item from News * new documentation in the Documentation area 2. Built-in Translation Facilities -- Plone supports multi-language content as well as a translation interface, which will let us provide information about Koha in more languages, right from koha.org. If you want koha.org available in your language or would like to volunteer to translate koha.org, please send a request to the koha-translate list and we'll make sure to enable that language in the interface and set your account up to enable translations. 3. Documentation Center -- we've imported the Koha 3.0 and 3.2 Manuals, as well as added a host of other documentation types, such as How-tos, Tutorials, FAQ, etc., and anyone can contribute to the documentation through the built-in review process outlined above. NOTE: LibLime will discontinue updates to the Koha Manual from the old liblime domain location, all new Manual updates will be added to the new koha.org site. 4. Showcase section -- highlights Koha users throughout the world utilizing a world map, anyone can add their library using a simple form 5. News and Events -- can now be submitted for approval by any user. We'll be updating the DNS this weekend to launch the website and will alert these lists when the process is complete (the old website will continue to be available at http://old.koha.org) In the meantime, you can check out the new site at http://new.koha.org Many thanks to Tina Burger, Nicole Engard and Clay Fouts for their efforts getting this new site ready, and to Paul Poulain for excellent feedback of our first draft. If you'd like to help out there are still a number of things that can be done. For instance, we need help going through the archive of news items on the Kea-based koha.org and adding those to Plone so we don't lose that history. Also, please add your library (or libraries you support) to the new Koha world map. Any volunteers?

Number of renewals per Patron Types
by Eric Bégin 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi there, I'd like to have a number of renewals based on the patron type. For exemple, a student can renew a book 5 times while a teacher can renew it 8 times. I don't think this is currently available in Koha. I see this as a new column in the Circulation & Fines rules. Any suggestion or comment about this? Eric

New site redirections
by Clay Fouts 12 May '09

12 May '09

Thanks for the list. That is helpful. I've added all of the new/old mappings except for the sitemap itself. Since it's not a Plone content page, the aliasing tool can't insert itself into the content resolution scheme. Of the list of pages missing from the sitemap, I found obvious links only for the downloads, OPAC showcase, and NPL pages. I'm not particularly familiar with the site's contents, so perhaps someone else can determine the appropriate mapping for the remaining pages. I'm not on the koha users' list, so I'm not going to know about any responses on there unless they're also forwarded to this list or directly to me. Please feel welcome to do so.

Suggestion for Editing New Koha Site
by Nicole Engard 11 May '09

11 May '09

I'm not putting this in the existing thread because it might be lost, but I have a suggestion. How about we follow our Koha model for the Koha website and put the templates and CSS into GIT. That way everyone can make edits and help fix the templates? Then we just need a Website Manager who approved patches - but at least we all have access to everything and can work together - which is our strong suit :) --- Nicole C.
