Hi, 2009/7/31 Agnes Rivers-Moore <arm@hanover.ca>:
If there is real interest in building a copy and paste MARC text editor, we still have the Spectrum server available. We also have a consultant who may be interested in developing this functionality.
I think this is a niche requirement, but obviously something that can be very useful indeed if you happen to occupy the niche. I know that at one point Jesse Weaver was working on a text-based bib editor that would have allowed this, but doing it as a full MARC editor replacement has certain gotchas in Koha, mostly having to do with validating a record against a MARC framework. That said, offering this as a special way to import a bib record one at a time make sense to me. If in addition to the particular text format accepted by Spectrum, the MARCMaker/MARCBreaker format [1] was accepted by such a tool, it would be even more useful.
