Okay, after a lengthy hiatus on other projects, I'm back working on Koha for a bit. I have two libraries now that are nearing completion of the data entry stage and will be wanting to start circulating. To facilitate this in my situation, I am populating the borrowers database with the accounts the school already uses for accessing school file servers, email and authenticating proxy servers. I've also created a new table called borrowergroups where I list the groups that borrowers are in in our account administration system (ie Grade 6/7, Kindergarten, etc.) so that the librarians can print out overdue lists for each teacher's class. I also have a session with the district's Librarian association where I think I'm going to get grilled about Koha. They had made a decision to use a program called Alexandria universally throughout the district. The problem is that not all schools can come up with the funds to actually use Alexandria. That's where I came into the picture with Koha. Wish me luck. Steve Tonnesen Coast Mountains School District
hi

Woo how exciting. When you have it up and running can we make a link to them from the Koha webpages?

Good Luck! Let us know how you get on :-) Cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand

Cool. Is this Alexandria capable of letting users search to search other libraries (ie, not in the database that is local)? The web(and therefore net) frontend is a real selling point. Nick ...hunting for his PERL books to help implement some ideas, maybe.

Okay, after a lengthy hiatus on other projects, I'm back working on Koha for a bit.
Hi, Are there any serious thought among the developers of Koha to include support for internationalization? I tried a little bit to fiddle around with gettext() function but didn't succede. I thing that the problem has to be dealt with on a larger scale, because gettext() will not take care of the html files. Also, for a non-programmer it is quite difficult to insert gettext string into perl script next to the HTML formatting strings. Could anyone start a directory ./i18 and start providing scripts with localization issues? Currency stuff in Koha does not take into account europian money. Could that be defined by the user? Benedykt PS. Sorry to say but I have never managed to cleanly install Koha so far. -- uwaga: dobre ksiazki: PHP4. Aplikacje - Visual Basic w Bazach Danych C++ w Zadaniach - Jezyk C.
