Thanks Kaye and Sue and all of you. You were a big part of what gave us the edge over the other competitors.e > Congratulations, and I'm sure you can tell from the enthusiasm that > constantly comes across in the list that we all think you deserve it. It was a bit funny talking to some of the commercial system vendors, they weren't shaking in their boots, but I think we gave them pause for thought :-) Oh and had a few of the sales folk keen to jump ship :-) Cheers rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 025 300 825 or +64 04 389 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 7039, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand

Koha wins innovation award
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Hi all, Thought you'd love to hear that Koha has just won the 3M Innovation in Libraries award at the New Zealand library conference last night. We were one of 3 finalists in the awards, and the winners were chosen by a combination of a panel of judges and votes from the conference delegates. We got a huge response from the delegates, and the 3M people are already talking about writing an open source interfacey protocol thing to their self check system. I'm working on putting Rosalies notes together with the presentatation slides so that you can all see what we said, and will let you know when they are up.

More questions
by Greg Banks 06 Oct '00

06 Oct '00

While these questions aren't really Koha related, I thought I'd ask them here anyway. So, if I'm out of line, please bear with me. Does there exist an application that would allow a library to match their records to the Library of Congress (http://catalog.loc.gov) record? Let's say I have a book called, "The boy wonder". It only has the title, author, and publishing information. But, on the Library of Congress, that same book has all sorts of information which I want. Could I get it very easily without having to key in all the extra information myself? Another question. Does there exist a utility that analyzes data for invalid information and generates a report? Only example I can think of where this would be useful is when dealing with ISBNs. Thanks. -gb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Guys Im off on my annual leave starting next friday (nz time) Im away for 24 days, Travelling to germany and the US. Im hoping to release version 1.06 before I go, which has some improvements to the performance of the searches. Ability to add junior and institution members/patrons And some fixes to the acquisitions section. Active development will pause (at this end at least) while im away. But when I get back i plan to get cvsweb up and running and developers.koha.org set up. Benedykt from Poland has been working on some polish locale filesm and has modified some scripts to use them , which im hoping to test when I get back. If anyone else has been working on anything please sing out. And if anything is urgently needed before I go, let me know.

Supported formats
by Greg Banks 06 Oct '00

06 Oct '00

I wasn't able to find this answered on the website, so I figured I would ask here. What types of file formats are supported by Koha? Meaning, what formats can be imported/exported? Also, are there plans for SIF support? -gb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - 35mm Quality Prints, Now Get 15 Free! http://photos.yahoo.com/

Since these lines arent going to be called with the gettext function. Ie we dont want to translate html, or for that matter variables. Hope this makes sense Chris PS, xgettext was what i was going to suggest in response to your other email. -- Chris Cormack Katipo Communications Programmer/Sys Admin chris(a)katipo.co.nz 025 500 789 www.katipo.co.nz
