And while I am grumbling, I do think that Koha gives the impression in some respects of being amateurish and unfinished. (I know that one should not look a gift horse in the mouth but ...)
Well, it's a .0 release and I don't think we're any worse than most software I've had to deal with. Feel free to gaze and tell me just which teeth look rotten. The challenge for me is whether I can do well enough with the next releases to polish 2.0.x into something which seems better and learn things so that 2.2.0 is better. I'm just writing my "roadmap". Keywords: free software, accessable, interoperable, portable, usable, stable.
/me just want to add that Koha is something very complex : it needs technical habilities AND librarian habilities. It has to be a lot tweaked before showing it's power. The tweaking is mandatory : without it, you would think that it does not fit exactly your needs.
2.0 DRAFT ROADMAP -----------------
June - replace systems that are really desirable (backport MARC searching from 2.1? has z*daemon really been fixed? is anyone working on the biblio entry screens in 2.1?); remove broken parts (is full acquisitions really broken or just buggy?); make sure second wave of docs (end-user help) are up-to-date; release.
the z3950-daemon works in a real library since 3+ weeks in 2 of my libraries (Sorbonne & Chambery). No problems here. TJ Kotula sends me today some informations about the daemon loosing forks when he enters a lot of servers (>14 !!!). He sends me a suggestion to solve it (works for him). I'm working a lot on HEAD branch to : * clean some code * css the templates. * improve MARC searching & merge MARC & simple search. The search is almost done. It could be ported to 2.0 probably, but it's not a trivial job, as it uses CSS & some other things that does not exist in 2.0 DB (like "seealso" field in MARC parameters)
Anyone know where the koha wiki went?
