[IMPORTANT] some time to spend on Koha 3 : what to do next ? + SAN goals
Hello guys, I'll have some time to spend on Koha 3 at the beginning of august. What could be usefull according to you ? (knowing that Antoine still works on code cleaning : he works on acquisition module ATM) I thought testing & debugging & unimarc'ing on dev_week could be interesting. I would also be interested by synch'ing dev_week & head, depending on the stability of dev_week. SAN goals : ----------- In september, SAN want to start working on testing & teaching librarians. The goal being to start working in production in January, 1st I told them I will make all my best to have something working in september, at least beta stage. They need zebra (dev_week)+ all what btoumi & alaurin worked on, (head) thus the merge of dev_week & head is something urgent for them. PS : dont tell me their goal is impossible to reach, they would be very unhappy with this. I told them it will be hot/hard, but not impossible. Maybe it's time for an irc meeting (next monday ? it's OK for me) -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org) Tel : 04 91 31 45 19

I thought testing & debugging & unimarc'ing on dev_week could be interesting. I would also be interested by synch'ing dev_week & head, depending on the stability of dev_week. Both of those sound good to me. Just to clarify the status of dev_week,
* The API is identical to rel_2_2 except that the Search API has changed. * There are some new functions to search and save records in zebra * This means that on the whole, dev-week is quite stable, having rel_2_2 as the basis, the new search and record management functions could use additional testing and work. * There is also a minimal wrapper for the old search API that could use some improvements (ie, it is a bare minimum that only does a keyword search for everything). * I plan to continue working on dev_week until it's ready for production, at which point I will release 2.4. * due to time and budget constraints I'm only able to work with what my customer's need: MARC21 + NPL tempaltes, but I would be happy to see other flavours and templates supported. In the meantime, it would be very interesting to sync dev_week with HEAD, though when we do that we need to look carefully at the changes to the API that already exist in HEAD -- a task beyond my resources right now.
