repeatable subfields in items
by Polonec Viliam, Ing. 02 Dec '25

02 Dec '25

Hello does anybody try to set holdings subfields (952) repeatable? for example notes 952$z OR 952$x OR 952$u I know that some subfields $a,$b,$y can't be repeatable. I tried it in simple demo and it works, but I am afraid if there will be some issues during circulation and other proceses do you have any experience with repeatable hoding subfields? thanks Viliam

Community positions for 26.05 cycle
by Paul Derscheid 26 Nov '25

26 Nov '25

Hi all, It’s that time again; we’re coming up to release time for 25.11, and that means picking the team for the 26.05 cycle! Please see the roles page at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Roles_for_26.05 and add your name to a role if you would like to propose volunteering for it. The team vote will take place on December 10th at the next development meeting. New people are more than welcome and it’s just as important to have non-developers helping to steer the ship as it is the developers! Some roles we’d like to draw your attention to: * Bug Wranglers <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Bug_wrangler> - We can always do with more bug wranglers! These people love to keep things tidy, and Bugzilla is always in need of your help. We need people to help manage ‘the list’, identify the duplicates, promote bugs to specialists, and find people to do sign-offs and testing. Everyone is invited to this party; we need you! This is a great first-time role to take on, and it makes a real difference to active community contributors’ lives! * Documentation Team <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Documentation_team> - The documentation team is a growing team that’s made great inroads into bringing Koha’s documentation up to date and ensuring we have a well-documented piece of software. There’s plenty more to do, and they’re always on the lookout for new contributors. The documentation team is a super-friendly group and would love to see you join them. What I’d also love to see are developers taking a look at the documentation team to support with infrastructure, approaches, or more technically challenging parts of Koha. * Wiki Curators <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Wiki_team> - Koha’s wiki is bursting at the seams with good information, but we need your help to bring order to the chaos and keep improving the content. If you’ve got an interest in maintaining an area of the Wiki, helping identify out-of-date information, or categorising data, then this is a job for you. * Meeting Facilitators <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Meeting_facilitators> - We have regular meetings in the community to discuss development progress, documentation tasks, and general community needs. It would be really helpful to have someone to help promote those meetings, keep them on track, and work on the minutes. Right now, these meetings are still run by me with help from the attendees, except for the documentation team, where the burden lies on the team managers. A new face in this role would really be appreciated! * Accessibility Advocate <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Accessibility_advocate> - In Koha, we really want to be open and accessible to all, but accessibility is an area that many of us are not as aware of as we should be. We’d like to have some people helping to promote best practices and report accessibility issues we might not be aware of. * Release Maintainer 1 <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Project_roles#Release_maintainer> - We are still looking for someone interested in doing release maintenance for the stable release. To be frank, this is not an easy job, but it is a very rewarding one. If you want to understand how things actually work behind the scenes and learn git the hard way, this is the role for you! If you’d like to volunteer for any of the roles, I am happy to chat about the ones I have experience in or point you to a person that is better suited to give you an overview. Kind regards, Paul
