[Koha-devel] Hackfest meeting about Mana-kb

[Paul Poulain]

Hello all,

We had a quite productive meeting regarding mana-kb during the hackfest. 
We had many ideas regarding improvements / new features that could be 
added, I've created a bugzilla entry for each idea. Below is a summary 
of our work

reminder : and "object" is something that is shared through mana. For 
now, subscription patterns and reports can be shared.

  * there's a web interface (ui.mana-kb) to look at data, and delete
    old/outdated. The idea is to curate data regularly. Anyone can apply
    to become a curator of the data in mana-kb. New features idea :
      o add a button "apply as curator"
        https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23738
      o prepare some SQL queries that could show librarians contributing
        a lot, and proposing them to join the list of curators
        https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23739
      o Let curators flag a content (3 values : non-flagged / hide this
        object, to be discussed for deletion / 'star' this object, it
        has a high quality/value)
        https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23740
  * Sharing reports guidelines
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23741
      o When you share a report, Koha could check if there's a runtime
        value to set (<<xxxx|yyyy>>). If there's none, add a
        confirmation checkbox, most useful reports need a runtime parameter.
      o Add a hint : "do not share a report with hardcoded value related
        to your own data" that is displayed when the librarian want to
        share a report
  * Languages checks are made on the full language code (fr_FR). We need
    only the first 2. Thus, reports with language fr_FR are displayed
    also for our canadian-Quebec friends (same thing for en_EN, en_US,
    en_NZ, of course)
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23742
  * In the admin/share_content.pl page => show if a token has not been
    validated yet
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23743
  * In the result lists (for object (reports, ...) searching, add a
    column with the language of submission, that can be filtered/sorted
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23744
  * in ui.mana-kb :
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23745
      o hide the token column, a curator does not need to know the token
        of a librarian
      o add a feature 'resend token' => resend the validation email to
        the librarian
  * In Koha : check that the associated email is an email, to avoid
    unvalidable tokens
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23746
  * replace a local Koha object by a mana-kb one: currently, it's not
    possible to modify a local object with one coming from Mana-kb. Add
    this feature, 2 sub-features:
    https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23747
      o if the local object comes from Mana, have a message "hey, the
        mana object has been updated, clic here to update your local one"
      o if the local object is 'home-made', add a button "update from
        mana-kb" that let the librarian search in mana, and update his
        local data.
  * "golden mana-kb contributor": we expect to have some librarians
    contributing very efficiently and frequently. Those librarians
    should be able to update existing mana objects. The golden mana-kb
    contributor is given by curators, coopt/consensus. The golden
    contributor status can be given for reports and for subscriptions,
    separately.
