[Koha] Book entry into system.

[Father - Mike Johnson]

Hi, a question.. must all the books be entered the first time around?  Being
a programmer, I tend to abhor repeated keystrokes... would it be possible to
create a "book staging" library that the whole community could share..
download the titles by Dewey classification, say... then, when you go to
enter books in the first time you could just scan and lookup by ISBN?.. or
enter a new one, then you could upload any new items you've entered,
hopefully getting a good percentage of books into the system with minimal
repeat-keying all around?

 The stage-system could then create a "bibliographic subscription" for
anyone using the system who may want the CD in hand.. you could then create
a "Koha Distro" in the same vein as many linux distros... Download for free
under GPL, or purchase a nice CD and maybe some printed docs. Receive
booklist updates quarterly or similar. I would like to participate in
creating such a repository.
