ByWater Solutions and Software.coop Collaborating on Koha EDI Support
Dear Koha Community, It is our pleasure to announce that software.coop of Somerset, England and ByWater Solutions LLC of Santa Barbara CA, USA, are partnering to bring Electronic Data Exchange (EDI) to Koha. EDI will greatly increase the functionality of the acquisitions module of Koha by allowing a direct electronic exchange from one entity to another, making processes such as billing and the transmission of purchase orders seamless. It may optionally accept bibliographic records from a vendor, making cataloguing quicker. It was described in the journal "Program: electronic library and information systems" Vol. 44 No. 3, 2010. The EDI code, which was written by software.coop, will be rebased by ByWater Solutions on the current head of the Koha project. The rebased code will be submitted for possible inclusion in the 3.4 release of Koha.

Very nice indeed! I hope others will pick up on this type of cooperation. There are a number of outstanding feature sets in various repos at the moment which could benefit from this sort of thing. Kind Regards, Chris
