Hello there everyone, As a developer working for a school in the UK who are interested in using the Koha system to manage their library I have added myself to this list. I've had a small look around the system and I'm impressed (as I imagine our librarian will be when she returns from the Easter break). I do however have quite a few suggestions and bugs to point out (I'm running version 1.2.3) and I was wondering whether or not to send them all through Bugzilla. How active and useful is it? I'm also interested in helping upgrading the HTML used to conform to HTML 4 and CSS standards (though I have no problem with XHTML1.0 Transitional and CSS2). Who sould I talk to about joining in? :o) Dave Thorne _________________________________________________________________ On the move? Get Hotmail on your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/mobile

That's always nice to hear.

it's actively churned ... we're in an active bug hunt preparatory to a major release. One thing you might want to consider is looking at 1.9.2 (if you're not planning on going live before next fall, the 2.0 series is your best bet and 1.9.2 is the most recent development release leading to it)
I'm also interested in helping upgrading the HTML used to conform to HTML 4 and CSS standards (though I have no problem with XHTML1.0 Transitional and CSS2). Who sould I talk to about joining in?
grab an account at sourceforge and let me know the username, but you'll really want to look at the pre-2.0 stuff before you jump in. It's all template driven, and significantly different from the 1.2.X stuff. -pate

Hello, I'm a developer working with schools in the UK, but I don't know of any using koha yet. Have you asked on the suse-linux-uk-schools list or shall I? I'm also working on getting the schoolforge.org.uk project started and the more hands the merrier there! If you do plan to move to koha, then there will be lots of interest in what you're doing, I'm sure. What level of school are you working for?
I do however have quite a few suggestions and bugs to point out (I'm running version 1.2.3) and I was wondering whether or not to send them all through Bugzilla. How active and useful is it?
Bugzilla seems very active, but bug reports for 1.9.x seem more desirable if you don't actually need to use koha in production immediately, I think.
I'm also interested in helping upgrading the HTML used to conform to HTML 4 and CSS standards (though I have no problem with XHTML1.0 Transitional and CSS2). Who sould I talk to about joining in?
I want to work on this, but I've been assigned another task to do first ;-) At last, I'm getting started on that. Then I'll have some idea how the code works, I hope. MJR
