Paul is rapidly closing in on a 2.0 release, but there are a lot of cosmetic issues that we really *need* to get fixed. These are mostly typos, mispellings, mistranslations, and the like in the text of pages, and in URLs. I don't think it matters much whether we use US or UK spelling on the pages, but we should be consistent. Since Koha is from New Zealand, I propose that we stick to UK english. (Let's just try to avoid 'Ye Olde OPACKe' though, okay?) It would also be great if we could mark deprecated functions as such, and flag non-working/buggy sections as well. If people could please register pages they've adopted at: http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=KohaBugHunting It will go a long way toward reducing duplication of effort. I recognize that 1.9.X is a development series and doesn't need to be perfect, but finding and closing out bugs here will help make the road to 2.0.0 that much smoother. thanks, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

What still needs to be done : * upgrade from 1.2 to 2.0 * import from a CSV file and import from a ISO2709 file, for libraries that wants to migrate from something_old_and_proprietary to Koha. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

4 Various Questions...
by T & J Kotula 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi, I'm just about ready to start cataloging our church library (7000 books). Currently I have V1.2.3 running, but before I'll get stuck into it, I thought of asking some questions (I'm a real beginner when it comes to Linux and the library stuff). 1. How easy will it be to upgrade from V1.2.3 to V2.0. I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether databases will be compatible. I will NOT ask when V2.0 is going to be out :-) 2. What is the recommended book bar code numbering scheme and what is the formula to generate the sequnce. 3. If the Library of Congress search fails what is the next best source of MARC records (I'm based in NZ) 4. Has anyone been through importing MUSAC (DOS version) database into Koha. After my very brief 'fiddle' with Koha I was wondering if there were plans to add a boolean expressions to the Z3950 search form. Thanks for your answers and keep up the good work you are doing.

Biblio Upload
by Bryan Grega 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Howdy all, I'm a far cry from a librarian and I don't know the first thing about what a Marc or Biblio record is but I've loaded KOHA and I'm trying to set it up for my librarian and she gave me an ascii file of Biblio records she wanted uploaded. Well I arranged them in the format of the BIBLIO table but I can't find a way to upload them other than an SQL statement. Is there and easier way? Thanks Bryan A. Grega

Howto add an admin account
by domeng＠stii.dost.gov.ph 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi! Good day! I installed Koha yesterday on a Mandrake 9 box using the installation script provided with koha 1.2.3 (great job, thanks). With some tweaking with our DNS server and virtual hosting config in Apache, I managed to have a running Koha system. My problem is that I cannot create an account that can log-in inside the Koha intranet site. I already tried inserting new record in user table inside MySQL database but still, I cannot login in the intranet site. Thanks and more power to Koha. Regards, Domingo Tamayo

Maybe a silly question
by Michael Rudmin 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Okay, I have my OPAC going, but don't have the internet site yet, so I can't look at that. However, it seems to me that OPAC should have circulation working. Yet when I click on Circulation, I get a blank white page http://fatherbrown:8080/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl Does anyone know how I can debug this? Is there a file that I should look for, in my directory structure? [ I have the default 1.9.0 directory structure. ] __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

ding, ding, the bell rings... koha-1.9.1 is out
by paul POULAIN 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Here are IMPORTANT release notes : * standard acquisition and MARC cataloguing now both useable at the same time. * MANY bugfixes. * almost everything now templated. A few admin scripts still to template. * inclusion of some pictures to say "add", "modify", "delete" in many places. * the koha-html cvs tree is now UNUSED, and no mode included in this release. the koha cvs project contains everything. TODO * z39.50 support. A port from the 1.2.x z39.50 support needs to be done. Should be quick, * fixing bugs. If you find a bug in this version, please take the plane and go for a trip to : bugs.koha.org FEATURE FREEZE feature freeze is there... only z39.50 will be added until 2.0RC1, which should be the next release ! KNOWN BUGS *IMPORTANT* : * koha does NOT work with MARC::Record 1.12. It works fine with MARC::Record 0.93, and maybe with other versions. * repeted subfields in MARC/iso2709 works poorly : only the 1st subfield is stored, other are ignored. At least, the 1st is right ! (in the 1.9.0, the 1st was buggied by other subfields too) * In the MARC search, the "not" flag does not work : the result of the query is very strange ! * en and fr are the only languages well supported in this version. Other translator teams are waiting for more stable templates :-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
