[Koha] [Koha-devel] Koha reports wiki

[Cab Vinton]

Thank you, Barton.

I'm not totally clear on the future status of the Reports wiki. Is the
idea that it would be completely replaced by the Mana KB?

The wiki is very easy to use & I suspect a resource that many
librarians besides myself find very valuable (including librarians
using non-standard versions of Koha).

Mana may prove to be the same, but I don't think I have an easy way to
review what it will look like, or what it looks like in its current
state ...

So my initial thought is to just proceed w/ these relatively trivial
edits to the wiki. Will certainly hold off, though, if there's
consensus that it's a waste of time :-)

Cheers,

Cab
