[Koha] koha to opac map?

Hi Koha people!
I moved to a Debian box and did an upgrade to 2.2.1.
I'm testing my Koha mapping before I load my OCLC records.

Now, I think I finally understand the Koha-to-MARC mapping ;)
but what I would *really* like to understand is the Koha-to-OPAC
mapping!

Trying the different opac themes suggests that people map different
Koha fields to the columns displayed in the opac.

I made a page showing my bizarre results in the 3 themes: NPL, CSS,
and Default, at http://www.secondhandknowledge.net/koha.html

Now, I know I must have some Koha-MARC mappings wrong (call number,
for example).  (You will see that I just typed some made-up numbers in
for the call numbers for now--I'm really not a bad cataloger!) But I'll
figure that out.

Despite that, it would be really helpful if someone (Steve?) would
tell me which MARc fields/Koha fields fill which columns in the
NPL opac display. (in other words, explain how it's done at Nelsonville).

Would you write up a little something, like:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Title     |   Author   | Call number |Copies | Available at
-----------------------------------------------------------
 245a         100a	      ...
biblio.title  biblio.author    ...


etc. for each of the display screens?
And maybe include a MARC record printout so we can see what your local
fields are (barcodes, call #s).

I'll send you chocolate.... or perhaps Krispy Kremes?
