I've been working on extracting the circulation code from the program
logic in order to make an interface that uses perl-tk.  This should make
developing a web interface for circulation easier as well.  I'm not
currently planning on making a web interface (although I was thinking
about it a bit today), but if you find someone who is, get them to talk to
me so I can explain what I'm doing. 

To add branches, you need to do some SQL stuff.

You should be able to do something like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
mysql Koha -p
(enter your koha password)
insert into branches values ('STWE', 'Stewart Elementary', 'address1',
'address2', 'address3', '250 555 1234', '250 555 2222',
'stewelm at cmsd.bc.ca', 1);

select * from branches;   <--- should return your branch information
delete from branches where branchcode='STWE';   <-- will delete a branch
----------------------------------------------------------------------



where
STWE = branch code (4 characters max)
Stewart Elementary = branch name
address1
address2 - self explanatory
address3 
250 555 1234 = branchphone
250 555 2222 = branchfax
stewelm at cmsd.bc.ca = branchemail
1 = issuing
