Hi, I realize that this is likely about to become redundant because of the work that Jesse Weaver is doing with his new syspref editor, but while we have the current one to contend with, I would like to propose renaming OAI-PMH category to something like 'Web Services', 'Services', or 'APIs'. This is motivated by BibLibre's new ILS-DI services, which are controlled by a 'ILS-DI' toggle syspref. One of Jean-André patches proposes creating a new 'ILS-DI' syspref category for that new syspref, but I don't feel that it really needs a category all to itself. Since OAI-PMH and ILS-DI are two specific examples of external services optionally provided by Koha, a 'Web Services' category would be a better umbrella. Comments?

Anything that will contribute to less confusion in the current syspref system sounds good to me. Chris

It looks to me that webservices would be too wide for users. Would it be webservices that they can connect to ? or web services Koha provides ? Those are two ways to use webservices. I donot want to ADD confusion. And I think that having OAI-PMH and ILS-DI under the same hood would be good. Or should all the External Webservices provided or used be under the same hood ? thanks Galen for proposal. My 2 cents. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT

Perhaps 'Web Services From Koha', then.

No, most of the external web services that Koha consumes are under the enhanced content banner, which I think is a better conceptual niche for them. Regards, Gale -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com

If external webservices are under enhanced content banner then webservice is ok. Webservices FROM Koha would be a bit long in a tab. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
Renaming the OAI-PMH category to Web Services would be easy under the new sysprefs editor as well. It sounds like this name works for everyone, so I'll make that change. 2009/8/12, LAURENT Henri-Damien <laurenthdl@alinto.com>:

I have a question - a librarian question :) - If you change the name of a category will it automatically move to alpha order in the new system? Nicole On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 11:38 PM, Jesse <pianohacker@gmail.com> wrote:

Such a loaded question. ;) Jesse, take note. For the old system, I will make sure to remember the re-alphabetize when I create the new category. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com
Loaded question sounds so harsh :) think of it as a friendly reminder that us librarians like things is order :) On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 12:12 PM, Galen Charlton <gmcharlt@gmail.com> wrote:
