I think in general you're right, our customers often play the role of beta testers for the specific modules that we are developing for them. However, I can't tell you how many times a developer has written something that works perfectly for _their_ client, but it also breaks some function that someone else's client needs (for instance, budget- based acquisitions have been broken no less than 3 times).
So, what this means is that the customer can't be the only beta tester. We need someone to take a broad overview and make sure _all_ functions are working before a release.
Paul, Chris, Russ, anyone have any further comments on this?
yes : this will become harder and harder, as we will have more and more libraries using Koha.That'a also why I strongly suggest to my costomers to use an official Koha release, and not use local templates for librarian interface. And i will continue this way, as it proves that it's the best one to find where a bug comes from : it always comes from Koha, not from the local templates ! -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org)
