I would like to enhance Koha and contribute my changes. How should I get started? My issue is not so much Perl (shield my Pythonic eyes!), it is that the downloaded source has an entirely different structure than the installed program, and if I submit a patch what's the best way to generate it, or, what is the preferred method for editing Koha? I'm using Koha with my small (50 books in the database) library. I wanted to collect the LC Call numbers for all my books so I could organize them that way. I have and they're lovely. Photo on request. Each book now bears a little label with its call number; some unnecessarily have Koha-number barcodes fastened inside. A declawed CueCat (transmits barcodes in plaintext!) example: 314293 scans; since my library doesn't circulate this is just for fun. I think I'm using RC7 right now, the database upgrade was a little scary but all in all I like it. Well, I can add members now, but my OPAC is broke. FWIW, here's (a subset of) my wishlist in rough priority order: - LC call numbers in database, display - Properly ordered collection browsing - ISBN code should handle Bookland ISBN, Bookland+5 (price) codes, then the CueCat would be useful for acquisitions. The Perl is difficult for me here. Way down the list: - More interesting info for each book (like summaries). It could be nice to be able to back up different parts of the database separately (making upgrades easier) - perhaps books, members, preferences. The rationale would be to separate the version-specific data from the more permanent data. I imagine someone is already working on separating the data edit forms into their own widget modules. It's a good idea, because right now there seem to be different versions of a couple of very similar forms. On another note, the other day I went to the public library. Mentioned 'free library system' to a librarian (after a futile quest to extract LC Call No. related information from him), librarian responds "Koha? I was thinking about using it in my church.".
