Database upgrade funniness
by Nicole Engard 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I just did a fetch on my install of master and got the upgrade db page. But this time the page said something funny: "We are upgrading from Koha 3.05.00.004 to 3.05.00.004, you must update your database" There is no difference in those versions and nothing was actually changed (at least not according to the screen). Is there a typo that was pushed? Or did I have a problem in my system? Nicole

volunteer to identify Koha features
by Lori Bowen Ayre 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hi All, I'm working on a project to develop a comprehensive Koha Feature List. I'm also doing it for Evergreen. I have a first draft of the Evergreen features and I'd like to use that list as the source for my Koha list. What I need is someone (or someones) who could volunteer some time to review the Evergreen feature and give me a quick yes or no (or don't know) for those features that are also present in Koha. If you know Koha, this should go quickly for you. And any help is provided. If you are willing to get a list of 10, 50, 100 Evergreen features from me that you could indicate whether they are also Koha features or not....that would be awesome. Let me know if you are willing and how many I can send you! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant / The Galecia Group Oversight Board & Communications Committee / Evergreen (707) 763-6869 // Lori.Ayre(a)galecia.com <Lori.Ayre(a)galecia.com>Specializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering, workflow optimization, and materials handling =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

QSOS.org and Koha
by Lori Bowen Ayre 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I just stumbled upon a site called QSOS.org that evaluates open source projects and I note that it evaluated Koha 3.0 residing at www.koha-fr.org. I'm wondering if anyone (Paul perhaps) knows how to get the most current version of Koha evaluated (and perhaps point them to the community website while we're at it.

Kohacon11 : Apologies for missing last few meetings
by Koustubha Kale 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hi All, First of all please accept my apologies for missing last few meetings. I have multiple out of station projects on hand currently, most of them in remote areas with very very patchy mobile networks let alone good internet connectivity. Having said that please rest assured that preparations for Kohacon11 are well in hand. We need more presenters if anything. So if you are planning to attend, please consider sharing your Koha, Library or even FOSS experiences with us. Also as per IRC discussions yesterday, we are planning to have a couple of panel discussions in the three day schedule. If you would like to participate in this as a panelist or have an idea of a topic for discussion please do share with us. Chris is going to do a remote presentation on 2nd Nov 2011 9.30am IST :) Any of you, who can't make it to Kohacon11 for whatever reasons please consider presenting through a similar means. I will shape up the presentation proposals we have received so far into a rough schedule over next couple of days and circulate on the list for comments. We have received sponsorship from Calyx, BibLibre and KohaAloha in addition to Bharat Grahak. Thanks Bob & Irma, Paul and Mason.
