[Koha-devel] Koha 3.0 update for week ending Feb 11th 2006

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi all,

Sorry I'm late getting last week's 3.0 Update out ... better late 
than never I suppose :-).

Last week was especially exciting because we've finally got Perl-ZOOM
in a working state -- many many thanks to Paul and the Index Data guys
for all their hard work on this.

We'll be holding our weekly organizational meeting on Monday, February
13th at 19:00 GMT. Here's the time in your area: http://tinyurl.com/7bk2f

MEETING NOTES (for Monday February 6th)

Present: kados, owen, thd, sanspach, slef, hdl

        hdl announced that paul had solved 'problem #2' with perl-zoom, but
        problem #1 still remained (CQL queries)

        hdl also announced some new serials code he was working on to link
        a serial to an item record

        kados announced some code he committed to rel_2_2, several new sysprefs,
        some related to Amazon.com content, some to interface customization.

        group discussed some areas where Koha needed improvement to use
        mod_perl2

        thd brought up his suggestion about improving framework for more SQL
        dbs: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/koha-devel/2006-02/msg00020.html

        suggestions to the Koha Coding Guidelines
