Koha 2.2 release plan & translations
by Paul POULAIN 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hi Koha fans, I'm fixing a lot of bugs at the moment (some on bugs.koha.org, some reported directly by EMN and not on bugzilla) There are a few features to add (like searching in order history), but 95% of the software is ready. So, there are 2 major needs to release a great 2.2 : * OnlineHelp * Localized versions. OnlineHelp : ************ I already asked on those lists for help to write OnlineHelp. I ask again. Some stuff has been done by Stephen Hedges, thanks to him. But he NEEDS HELP to complete this help. You can do it on a 2.0 install, i'll take care of improvements when needed. Anyone can help here : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=OnlineHelp Localized versions : ******************** The ./tmpl_process3.pl is a great tool that generates a .po file that can be translated with many tools. The french translation will use it and the old ./tmpl_process.pl script is deprecated & will be dropped soon. I encourage all the translators team to work on actual CVS. I can send a uptodate file to translate to anyone requesting it. the opac is about 500 lines, the librarian interface is about 3000 lines (without OnlineHelp for instance) RELEASE PLAN : ========= The next release can be called 2.2RC1 I think. Question to the QA manager : do you want see it in stable or in unstable on sourceforge ? The next version should be released in a week or two (maximum) Note that I think we waited too much to announce 2.0 officially stable, in France that was a problem for some librarians that hesitates to install the soft even if 5+ libraries already used the 2.0.0rcX version. So I think we should release a 2.2.0 sooner and then 2.2.1, 2.2.2, as quickly as needed. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Wednesday, October 6, 2004 16:50 CDT Hi, Andres, Sorry for being flippant about the exchange rate data. If you wish to record such data, it is certainly within the scope of the 020$c (ISBN, qualifying info) to do so. Someone can correct me, but I am fairly certain it would be okay to code as in the following example: 020 __ $a0201696967 $c$24.95 (CAD) 020 __ $a0201696967 $c$17.95 (USD; exchange rate) I've seen cataloguing copy where just the $c was entered in, just to track price data. I was taught that cataloguers should always have the $a (just to reinforce what incarnation of the text we are talking about) so I always do that, but one of the examples at LC contradicts that teaching, so you should be allowed to adapt $c for your local usages. Again, sorry for being flippant before about exchange rates. I am very sympathetic to your libraries' expenses in importing books and other materials. It is a major issue in academic libraries in Canada, too. Cheers, Steven F.

Wednesday, October 6, 2004 01:10 CDT Hi, Stephen et al., Just 2 cents on the MARC matter. To be accurate, MARC21 makes *no* assumption about currency type/s. That is left for humans doing the coding to worry about. In Canada, we are so used to entering prices twice (first for CDN, second for USD) it is a non-issue. All Andres should do is make sure his library's cataloguing policy allows for the different entries. You will find that exempla for use of MARC21 on the LC website and elsewhere are mostly (i.e. almost all) using USD as the default. Sort of *cuius regio, eius religio*. And one other minor correction, Stephen: the catalogue record has multiple points at which you can track currency (I wouldn't see the point in noting the exchange rate, but maybe I am just not OCD enough), not the least of which is within the $c qualifier ("the price or a brief statement of availability and [my emphasis] **any parenthetical information qualifying the information**").

Currency on Items
by Andres Tarallo 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

While working with the Items in the koha-MARC link I´ve noticed that the books have a price and reposition price, but is not stablished the Currency of that price. Koha "assumes" the local currency? This is very importatn for us, we have many books purchased in the United States and Europe that are in dollars and Euros. Andrés

USA Road Trip Update
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

Hi all I thought I'd catch you up on where we actually got to on our trip... We spent a day being jetlagged in san Francisco - basically trying to stay awake :-) Then drove to Yosemite to see the trees - very big, very cool. Stayed in a TENT - freezing! and heard them scaring away b ears in the carpark - woke up in fright in the night Went on to Ely Navada over the taiaga pass - very high, snow, great views. Stayed in Ely - Nice folks at the SubWay where we had breakfast, but horrible coffee - got into unintentional argument with the nice girl and her boss about how espresso coffee isn't supposeed to be a huge cup of milky coffee - ho humm... Went to great basin national park - cute, saw dear, cave, really old bristlecone pines - got gently snowed on which was fun Went to Utah - stayed in Payston, nice food from the charming one man band diner, and then good breakfast recommended by hotel receptionist because we overslept for the free breaky. Did more utah than we meant to because we took ar wrong turn at Everston, so ended up in Logan, rather than at the monument we meant to go to Drove to Teton and Yellowstone, saw more elk antlers than is really good for someone, and stayed in historic hotel .because there wasn't anywhere else - oh and saw old faithful blow Got up early, saw bison, saw Elk, saw lots and lots more bison, saw a black bear and her 2 cubs, and yet more bison.... Drove to Billings montana, over beartooth pass/mountains Stayedin billings, and went to find pictographs today but couldn't find them, so basically walked about in the desert which was fun And tommorrow we fly to pitsburgh for a week.
