Nod, I'll fire a few questions off anyhow:
1) Is there an anonymous CVS repository setup for Koha?
We use CVS for all our in house development, so it would be a small step to making an anonymous CVS access available to the bleeding edge folks, and probablynot much further to provide write access to other developers, if there is a need.
2) Is there a ROADMAP style document explaining the design so far? Looking at Koha's table layout and my abandoned projects I notice many similarities and a couple of differences.
Ahh, it's not a bad idea :-).
3) How do you see Koha evolving?
In the immediate future, the usual round of bugfixes and feature enhancements, with a rewrite of the CDK circ module in slang almost ready to go into testing. There is a "phase two" getting underway shortly, which will be focussing on enhancements to the OPAC (reading lists, renewel and reserves via the web, maybe automated phone based IVR and notification), web based cirulations (so that libraries can avoid the text based circulation module if they want), better reporting, and a bunch of stuff I've probably forgotten. Il8n is also pretty urgent, so that we can have a Maori version There's also a need (slightly left field) for an internet access management system, so that we can give Internet access to library patrons, which I suspect will get rolled into Koha, for ease of management. Beyond that, who knows. Likely to be related to whatever scratches our itch, or whatever code is contributed, or whatever somebody convinces us is valuable.
4) Is there a feature/wish list for Koha?
Probably the Librarians currently using it could speak to this better than I - I'm sure it's enormous :-).
There are undoubtedly more, but that's a start.
Keep 'em coming :-). Cheers Si -- Simon Blake simon@katipo.co.nz Katipo Communications +64 25 300 825
