[Koha] new developers

[Pat Eyler]

In the course of the last week, I've added two new developers (from
France) to our Sourceforge site.  It looks like I'll be getting to add a
couple more (from Argentina) in the near future.  I'm really excited to
see more groups joining up with Koha, and I can't wait to see the kinds of
things that start happening.

Let me take this opportunity to talk about four things:

1) If you're interested in working on Koha, please let Chris, Paul, or I
know.  We can always use people who want to work on coding, testing,
writing documentation, or what have you.  Even if your Perl skills aren't
the greatest, there are plenty of ways you can contribute.

2) If you are registered as a developer, but you haven't been active in
the last year or so, please get in touch with me.  I promise I won't try
to talk you into working on the project, I just want to see if you're
still there and still interested.

3) We're hitting the home stretch towards 2.0.0, this means we need to be
extra careful about what we do with our sourcecode.  If you're a
developer and you've got an idea for a cool new feature, please DON'T add
it to koha yet.  If you've just got to work on it, please do so outside
the normal cvs tree -- once 2.0.0 is out, we'll be relaxing this stance.

4) If you want to work on Koha, but don't know where to start, please take
a look at bugs.koha.org ... there are a lot of little things that need to
be fixed.  Please feel free to grab a bug and squash it.

thanks,
