[Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 38, Issue 90

[Zahoor ur Rehman]

Hi,
I am new to koha but have installed that on debian. Now I want to customize
the layout of koha as well as some extra functionalities are required to be
added to koha.
Anyone can help me how to setup a development environment for 2 or 3
develpers working at my local lab to customize the koha 3.0.
Help in this regards will be highly appreciated.
