[Koha] MARC frameworks - sharing

[Elaine Bradtke]

Well, it looks like I'm not the only one.  My IT guru and I are going to
experiment a bit, both on the editing and import and export of MARC
frameworks. I got fed up with the process of deleting lots of individual
fields so I'm looking at editing outside of Koha.
I'll send a progress report. But it isn't a high priority at the moment,
maybe sometime in January.
Meanwhile, if anyone who has a specific interest in historic or archival
sound recordings could contact me off list so we could collaborate on what
fields would be most useful, I'd appreciate it.
