[Koha-devel] Koha3, loading locale data, contribs and funcionality

[Toni Rosa]

Hi,
Two years ago we installed Koha 2.7 and have been using it since.
We fully translated it into Catalan, as the "official" translation was 
just half-baked, and we added some new functionalities into it. One of 
this new funcionalities that added was that we programmed some new OPAC 
and Intranet screens to allow users select "Automatic notification for 
new biblios in the user topics of interest". Thus, the library patrons 
can fill-in an email address (which defaults to the informed one if it 
is in place), one or more topics of interest and a periodicity (daily 
/weekly...). Then a ".pl" cron job checks for new biblios matching each 
of the users selected topics and sends the notification messages where 
necessary.

Now we are considering a migration to version 3, and we have installed 
it in a spare machine, but we have some doubts about it... Does version 
3 (or any soon-to-be-stable version) have a functionality like the one 
we implemented?
If such this functionality is not available, Is there a way to 
contribute our code as an addon to Koha or similar?
Another question is that While installing this Koha3 I couldn't find 
whether it is included a way to load translated data into the datababase 
(e.g. userflags descriptions, system prefs descriptions, etc...) for the 
selected locale.
Back in version 2.7 we exported tables to "csv" and then imported 
(replaced) the values once they were translated by our translator. Is 
there a method to load localized data in version 3, and if so, where is 
this data?
Many thanks and regards,
Toni
