Hello Koha & Coral lists,

I'm happy and proud to announce that in the next 3 months, Matthias will work full time on Coral <> Koha interface.

He can be dedicated to this task thanks to 3 companies that joined their strength and money to make this possible: Ebsco (45%), BibLibre (40%) and ByWaterSolutions (15%)

He will start by playing the new features and installer of Coral 2.0. Then he will improve the specs I've written (and already sent to some/most of you. If you want them, just ask). Then he will code.

Things he will work on :

  • rebase the Coral <> gokb interface and officially submit it for inclusion into Coral. That will be a first step and framework for later inclusion of Ebsco KB.
  • work on linking Coral and Koha acquisitions modules: share organizations/vendors, budgets, create basket in Koha from a given Coral acquisition workflow, share bibliographic records when relevent.
Some general guidelines we will follow:

Coral:

  • we will keep things as ILS-agnostic as possible. It means we will use webservices, and never access the Koha DB from Coral
  • Every "linked" feature will be activated through the configurations files. If not activated, Coral users will see no change. That's important for "Coral without Koha"
  • We will have to add some fields to store the links between ILS and Coral data.

Koha:

  • We will mostly add webservices (restful, of course), related to acquisition (vendors, budget, baskets, ...).
  • We will have to add some fields to store the links between Koha and Coral data.

Hopefully, at the end of those 3 months, we should have a working version 1, not complete, that could be improved for an easier use. Our long term goal is to have a fully integrated solution.
