2 Aug, 2002 To the Koha community; Guten Tag, Birthdays (at least in my family) are over and vacations have begun. While the development pace may have slackened a bit, there is still plenty going on. 1.2.3 is in pre-release testing mode, and represents some nice improvements over 1.2.2. The developers at Katipo are also adding shine and polish to the 1.2 tree. We're continuing to get publicity from Linux Weekly News (in the Aug 1st, 2002 Edition this time). In addition, I've now received a copy of an article slated to appear in InCite, the magazine of ALIA. The author, Christophe Augias is also a librarian at Bibliotheque Bernham in New Caledonea. He says that they will be evaluating Koha this fall. If all goes well, they should join the ranks of Koha equipped libraries quite soon. Danke, -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki of the Koha Project
