14:02 matias-UN hi people...
14:03 paul      hi matias
14:03 matias-UN paul..how can I change my nickname...?
14:03 matias-UN I didn´t know there was a string limit...
14:04 chris      /nick newnickname
14:04 chris     without the space at the front
14:04 UNLP-Phys ok...thanks...
14:05 rach      Matias - it might have been easier to "say" your name :-)
14:07 UNLP-Phys yeah...I was thinking that...
14:07 rach      :-)
14:07 rach      but it's good to know where you are from
14:07 rach      we might get a few more straglers - but shall we start with introductions
14:07 chris     sounds good
14:07 rach      Chris you're at the top of the list :-)
14:08 paul      ladies & gentlemen, let me introduce the guy that commited that so nice label printing module in 2.1.2 !!!
14:08 paul      it's matias
14:08 rach      Great work Matias
14:09 matias    ja ja...ok...thank you so much...!!!

14:10 matias    ;-)
14:11 JYL       JYL is a newbie interested in documentation and translation, testing 2.0 & 2.2
14:11 paul      mmm... i tried to announce 2.1.2 public release on koha mailing list :
14:11 paul      <koha@lists.katipo.co.nz>: Name service error for name=lists.katipo.co.nz
14:11 paul          type=MX: Host not found, try again
14:11 slef      Apologies first of all. Because I thought this meeting was at 1800Z, I'm elsewhere too now (1900Z)
14:11 rach      paul we're having trouble this morning
14:11 rach      one of our servers got swapped last night
14:11 paul      don't forget to say you're french JYL  :D
14:11 sad-hu_   hello, sad-hu is Matti Lassila, I did the finnish translation
14:11 JYL       YYYEEEAAHHH !! Bravo
14:12 rach      nice to meet you Matti
14:12 paul      hello matti.
14:12 paul      what I find interesting with this meeting is that there are more and more europeans.
14:12 rach      and JYL - which in my head I'm pronouncing Jill by the way
14:13 JYL       sounds good for me rach !
14:13 paul      JYL means Jean Yves Lemaire
14:13 rach      Si is Simon Blake who is the one who was playing with the server late last night, so he's still asleep
14:13 rach      despite my best efforts to wake him up
14:14 rach      skoba looks to be away
14:14 rach      tim are you about?
14:14 paul      another ppl speaking french ;-)
14:14 tim       I'm here.
14:15 rach      can you do your intro :-)
14:15 owen      kados is Joshua Ferraro, also from the Nelsonville Public Library, but it doesn't look like he's around
14:15 matias    I think I´m gonna have to learn some french... ;-)
14:15 rach      me to
14:15 JYL       It shouldn't be a problem !
14:16 matias    ja ja...by the way...sorry my english..I´ll improve it...I promise... :-)
14:16 tim       would like to help, but don't know enough yet.
14:16 chris     ur from west liberty public library right tim?
14:16 skoba     sorry, i wont't be here that night cos' of family afair (i say hello to all (poor english) but i log the chan tonight) bonne nuit les enfants......
14:16 rach      you said something very helpful the other day = we always need newbies to point out where we've been captured by our own cleverness :-)
14:17 tim       Yes I am chris
14:17 paul      skoba => logbot is here for irc logging : www.koha.org/irc
14:18 rach      cool
14:18 chris     i think that is everyone?
14:18 rach      Yep we have a short agenda
14:19 rach      First shall we do the volunteer "positions" ?
14:20 rach      The first is Kaitiaki, which has been done well by Pat Eyler over the last few years, but he's got busy with work
14:20 slef      Small point of order: if the meeting details change, can it be a new post rather than a reply, please?
14:20 rach      and I think his work policy might have changed, so hasn't been able to keep it up unfortunatly
14:20 rach      AH yes certainly - sorry slef
14:21 rach      How long do you have?
14:21 rach      So is there anyone else who would like to be the Kaitiaki?
14:22 paul      yes : you ;-)
14:22 rach      sorry - anyone else other than me :-)
14:23 rach      does anyone object to it being me?
14:23 JYL       NO !
14:23 owen      If only we had a tiara for rach...
14:23 rach      and a wand :-)
14:23 russ      owen, i'll sort one out for her today
14:23 JYL       congratulations rach !
14:24 paul      kudos rach
14:24 paul      how do you say kaitiaki for a girl in maori ?
14:24 rach      cool - thanks :-)
14:24 chris     the same paul
14:24 paul      Rachel Hamilton, Koha kaitiaki. Sounds nice...
14:25 rach      which brings us quickly to the other volunteer position I think we need
14:25 paul      yep
14:25 rach      which is website editor
14:26 rach      who doesn't need to do HTML if they don't want
14:26 paul      slef are you still here ? if yes, it may be better to speak 1st of release managers/maintainers ?
14:26 rach      ah ok sure paul
14:27 rach      all righty - 2.2 release date and maintainer....
14:27 paul      I think I must write some things here & now
14:27 slef      paul: I'm here, but intermittently able to look at the screen.
14:27 paul      ok slef
14:27 paul      the 2.2 status :
14:27 paul      i've released a 2.1.2 today.
14:28 paul      it's still in unstable branch. I've something like 15 bugs to squash.
14:28 paul      (coming from 3days tests with Ecole des Mines de Nantes)
14:28 paul      none of them are blocking, but most are really annoying.
14:28 chris     right
14:28 paul      the barcode generator is included.
14:28 slef      Should I be marking 2.0 bugs FIXED, or reversioning 2.2 so you can check they're fixed for that too?
14:28 paul      in 2.1.2
14:29 slef      Is that botf or another one?
14:29 paul      slef : my problem with what you do with the 2.0 branch is that i've no mail like with sourceforge cvs.
14:29 slef      barcodes on the fly helper
14:29 paul      so i can't merge your 2.0 bugfixes on 2.2 branch :-(
14:30 owen      I think many of us don't know what's going on with 2.0
14:30 paul      it generates nice PDF page with barcodes on it.
14:30 slef      I can render 2.0 bugfixes in whatever format you want, but no-one has asked for anything until now.
14:30 paul      with continuous barcode, or selected inventory.
14:30 matias    :-)
14:30 slef      So don't you go all :-( here now over stuff you never said before.
14:31 owen      Are you signed up for the Koha-CVS list slef?
14:31 paul      i hadn't the time to ask slef. I admit.
14:31 rosa      sounds cool to me, slef
14:31 slef      paul: what does the barcode printer require?
14:31 paul      yes owen, but slef uses arch, not the sourceforge cvs.
14:31 paul      it's in 2.1.2 release notes ;-)
14:31 paul      PDF::API2
14:31 slef      owen: I didn't know it existed.
14:32 paul      wow ! you didn't know this list exists. Too bad we never spoke of it before.
14:32 slef      paul: is that in distributions?
14:32 paul      distributions ?
14:32 owen      https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/koha-cvs
14:32 slef      like packaged for debian, fedora, mandrake and so on?
14:33 paul      i don't know.
14:33 paul      maybe, it's a very common perlpackage
14:34 paul      PDF::API2 is not on mandrake distrib.
14:34 paul      can't answer for others distros
14:34 slef      owen: is there a version without the diffs?
14:34 paul      however, the 2.2 status :
14:34 paul      the 2.1.2 will probably be the last one in unstable tree
14:34 paul      the next one should be a 2.2RC1, in stable tree.
14:35 paul      it's really useable, & I think I was too slow to release official 2.0.0
14:35 paul      in France, many libraries were waiting for 2.0.0 even when 2.0.0RC4 was released.
14:35 owen      slef: a version of the koha-cvs list?  Not that I know of.
14:36 paul      So I think it's better to release soon, & produce bugfixes more often.
14:36 chris     slef: its in debian, at least in testing and unstable it is
14:36 paul      I need 3 things to rlease 2.2 :
14:36 paul      * LDAP connections fixes. It'll take care of this
14:37 slef      What will?
14:37 paul      (i'll, sorry)
14:37 paul      * some changes in plugins to find editor from ISBN & collection selector
14:38 paul      * MARC21 SQL files.
14:38 paul      this last * needs help from MARC21 libraries.
14:38 paul      in the 2.2 installer, the user can select various files for installing, to have a well working DB
14:38 rach      Do we have any MARC21 libraries here now?
14:38 paul      something like (for france)
14:38 paul      * UNIMARC default biblio structure
14:39 paul      * UNIMARC parameters for multimedia framework
14:39 paul      * systmeprefs in french & for france
14:39 paul      * UNIMARC default authority structure
14:39 paul      * unimarc parameters for various authorities types (like NC for Common Names, NP for Propers Names)...
14:40 paul      & complete "sample DB"
14:40 paul      so what i'm hoping is a library that could help building nice MARC21 files.
14:41 slef      Are the tables the same as 2.0?
14:41 paul      not exactly
14:41 slef      Is there a guide to differences?
14:41 paul      in MARC biblio, the difference is in the "framework" column
14:41 paul      otherwise, it's the same DB for MARC
14:42 paul      for MARC authorities, it's a copy of MARC biblio with frameworks
14:42 paul      there are no technical description of the diffs
14:42 paul      i'll modify the DB structure schema ASAP
14:43 paul      are those minor explanations enough ?
14:44 rach      Slef you think one of your customers might be able to help, if Paul does a good guide so that the data can be migrated from 2.0 to 2.2?
14:44 slef      Enough to see that you need a 2.2 testbed library to design this, or a really safe upgrade script.
14:44 rach      yes that sounds fair
14:44 paul      the updater tool is untested, but the updatedatabase script has been updated on every DB change
14:45 rach      Slef and Paul can you work that out between yourselves, when you've both got a bit more time ?
14:45 paul      ok.
14:46 rach      excellent :-)
14:46 rach      yup :-)
14:46 paul      (so i'll be a little less here in the next 3-4 weeks)
14:46 matias    congratulations :-)
14:47 rach      so best to get things done before hand?
14:47 paul      (thanks. It's my 3rd little guy...)
14:47 paul      ??? rach ???
14:47 JYL       I'm volunteer to test the updater script Paul !
14:47 paul      ok, thanks JYL
14:47 paul      i'll let you know how to do this from a 2.0.0 install
14:48 paul      (it's written in 2.1.2 release notes in fact ;-) )
14:48 paul      (iirc)
14:48 JYL       Can only test it on my Sarge Debian install...
14:48 paul      i'll have to migrate my customers too, so i'll have to do some tests too
14:48 paul      the question now is :
14:49 paul      * what do we do with the 2.0 branch ?
14:49 paul      * when do we swap to 2.2 release manager to 2.2 release maintainer ?
14:49 paul      * who will be 2.2 release maintainer ?
14:49 paul      slef, any opinion on 1st questiion ?
14:50 rach      Sleft how hard has it been to be 2.0 release maintainer?
14:50 paul      I already have said to rachel I was suggestion to be 2.2 release maintainer & let emiliano & argentina team (matias) be 2.4 release manager.
14:51 paul      s/suggestion/suggesting
14:51 matias    I think...
14:52 matias    we are open to contribute with all that we´ve made...
14:52 matias    of course, all those things that people like... :-)
14:53 paul      emiliano & I had a long IRC discussion a few days ago.
14:53 paul      I think he is aware that being release manager means commiting code, but also a lot of other things :
14:53 paul      * accepting/rejecting new ideas
14:53 paul      * building & testing releases
14:53 matias    yeah...that´s why I´m telling you this...
14:54 paul      * dealing with multi-marc & multi-countries questions.
14:54 slef      paul: I would continue 2.0.x until 2.2.1
14:54 matias    I think it would be a better idea to propose another release manager..
14:54 emiliano  Hi everybody
14:54 paul      welcome emiliano.
14:55 paul      we were speaking of 2.4 release manager.
14:55 matias    hello...
14:55 slef      rach: fairly difficult until the arch move, then fairly easy, but certain 2.2 developers don't answer bugs emails.
14:55 paul      I was suggesting you as 2.4 release manager.
14:55 paul      matias seems not so happy with this idea
14:55 paul      am i missing something ?
14:56 matias    no...I am happy... :)
14:56 paul      so why do you think it would be a better idea to propose someone else ?
14:58 matias    as I was saying...
14:58 matias    we are open to contribute...
14:58 matias    we are open to work on bug fixing...
14:59 matias    and to contribute with new ideas...
14:59 emiliano  I think Matias wants to say that being release manager
14:59 emiliano  is a very responsable position
15:00 matias    exactly... ;-)
15:00 emiliano  and we have some requeriments
15:00 emiliano  to accomplish
15:00 emiliano  very urgent
15:00 chris     the release manager doesnt have to be a developer
15:01 chris     if anyone else wants to volunteer :-)
15:01 emiliano  Paul?
15:01 paul      mmm...
15:01 paul      I can't do everything
15:02 rach      he can't be 2.2 maintainer *and* 2.4 release manager
15:02 paul      i'm ok to be release manager OR rleease maintainer
15:02 emiliano  we can help you
15:02 paul      right ;-)
15:02 matias    yeap
15:02 paul      what do you mean exactly by "help" ?
15:02 slef      I would volunteer, but I think that 2.0 should continue into 2.2's early life and I now think that other developers are cross with me about the arch move (but didn't say before).
15:02 emiliano  I mean that we can distribute the tasks
15:03 chris     yep, i agree that 2.0 should continue for a while self
15:03 chris     slef even :)
15:03 rach      yes I agree too :-)
15:03 paul      emiliano, I think that the good question is the timing one.
15:04 paul      for me, the 2.4 official release does not have to be released urgently
15:04 emiliano  ok I agree
15:04 emiliano  we need it urgently
15:04 emiliano  but could start
15:04 paul      so, the main problem is that you will be release manager for the 1st time.
15:05 paul      and that may be frightening no ?
15:05 emiliano  jajaja
15:05 emiliano  could be
15:05 matias    :-)
15:05 emiliano  but the real question is
15:05 emiliano  what is 2.4?
15:05 emiliano  what must include
15:05 paul      so, a good news : before being release manager for Koha, i never had beenr release manager ;-)
15:06 paul      yes, you're right. But that's a question we have 2 months or something like that to define.
15:06 owen      How about this: emiliano and his team are named release managers, and ask Paul for help when they have questions?
15:06 chris     emiliano: yep that is the question, but thats something we can all discuss i think ur roadmap is a good start
15:06 emiliano  ok
15:07 paul      and even if you feel too bad release manager, i can take the role.
15:07 rach      sounds good to me
15:07 emiliano  jajaja
15:07 paul      but i'm sure you will be a good release manager.
15:07 chris     the way id do it, is concentrate on doing the urgent things you need first
15:07 emiliano  ok in this case I agree
15:07 rach      Excellent
15:08 chris     as 2.2 hasnt been released yet, so like paul says 2.4 isnt urgent .. then when you have done the things u need urgently can work more on the release manager role
15:08 paul      emiliano : do you still think an official mail cuold be a good thing ?
15:08 emiliano  official mail?
15:08 paul      if yes => rach, as kaitiaki, you should take care of it.
15:09 paul      yes, you asked for a mail for your boss.
15:09 emiliano  yes
15:09 emiliano  I think so
15:09 paul      so, ask rachel ;-)
15:09 chris     :)
15:09 rach      yes I can do that :-)
15:09 emiliano  I wish to clear one thing
15:09 emiliano  In Argentina is there
15:09 emiliano  2 projects related with Koha
15:10 emiliano  I hope that the National Ministry
15:10 emiliano  of Education could help to enforce
15:10 emiliano  our actual efforts
15:10 emiliano  because of this I need the mail
15:11 paul      in france, we have 2 ministries concerned by ILS : the culture & the education. Is it the same in Argentina ?
15:11 rach      ok - emiliano, can you please e-mail me at rachel@katipo.co.nz
15:11 emiliano  ok
15:12 rach      and let me know to whom I should address the mail and any other details it needs to have
15:12 emiliano  no paul one only in the same Ministry
15:12 rach      I can send a letter as a PDF for you
15:12 emiliano  ok
15:12 Denis     hello all
15:13 paul      another frenchy...
15:13 Denis     hi Paul
15:13 rach      bonjour denis
15:13 Denis     hi rach
15:13 paul      i'm please to introduce Denis Lieppe, from Sorbonne university.
15:13 rach      hi stephen
15:13 shedges   hi all
15:13 paul      user of Koha 2.0.0 in it's library (research)
15:13 paul      hi stephen
15:13 slef      So, who is each RM?
15:13 owen      I'm pleased to introduce Stephen Hedges, director of the Nelsonville Public Library in Ohio
15:13 paul      rach, i let you summarize
15:14 rach      2.0 = Sleft
15:14 rach      2.2 = Paul
15:14 rach      2.4 = Emiliano
15:14 chris     -t
15:14 rach      erg - sorry slef
15:14 rach      And we expect 2.0 to need to keep going for a while yet
15:15 Denis     all right
15:15 slef      Until 2.2.1 or beyond?
15:15 rach      2.2.1 I would hope
15:15 slef      Until 2.2.1's release date or beyond?
15:15 Denis     big "bravo" to Paul for 2.2
15:15 slef      (sorry, realised that didn't make sense)
15:15 rach      not indefinitly
15:15 rach      shouldn't be a life sentance :-)
15:16 slef      OK, as there's a couple of things I'd like to hack into 2.4
15:16 rach      Slef I would think realistically until you've converted your customers to the new version is a good "rule of thumb"
15:16 rach      that's what we have done with 1.2 basically
15:17 chris     perhaps we should organise a 2.4 meetin at some point? or at least a 2.4 discussion on the devel list?
15:17 slef      chris++
15:17 emiliano  I'll be happy
15:17 rach      yes that is a good idea - there are a few more things to sort out before we all get sucked into the fun of planning the next version :-)
15:17 paul      an IRC meeting is quite complex because of worldwide koha spread
15:17 rach      yep
15:18 rach      so a couple more volunteer positions
15:18 paul      so a koha-dev discussion is better, with a "wiki" summary
15:18 chris     yep, a discusion on the lists might be the easiest to start with
15:18 chris     yep paul
15:18 rach      Russ has kindly volunteered to do some QA for the new release
15:18 russ      yep sure
15:18 paul      (denis, stay here, pls, we will speak of doc project soon. You should be interested)
15:19 slef      emiliano: will you take charge of summarising the discussion?
15:19 owen      Great news.  Thanks Russ!
15:19 emiliano  ok
15:19 rach      and Mike has volunteered to be in charge of sorting out the website stuff
15:19 chris     yay mike
15:19 rach      so that we get a bit more coherance going
15:19 jmlongo   Hi everybody... sorry I'm late!
15:19 paul      good news, good news...
15:19 rach      something I am *very* happy to hear
15:20 emiliano  Hi Martin
15:20 matias    hi Martin
15:20 emiliano  Martin is our official translator
15:20 slef      Are we onto documentation or website now?
15:20 Denis     Denis more tired than Paul ;-)
15:20 rach      oh hi Martin
15:20 emiliano  he's working enhacing .po files
15:20 paul      ok. hi martin.
15:20 rach      OK quickly then ... Documentation
15:20 rach      before you all fall asleep
15:21 paul      ;-)
15:21 Denis     lol
15:21 jmlongo   Hi  :)
15:21 slef      Can we add .po files to the end of the meeting?
15:21 paul      (about .po translation tool)
15:22 jmlongo   no prob from me
15:22 rach       Documentation. For this, i've some news. I've met neodoc company (http://www.neodoc.org/index.php?show=&lang=en) and have a financial proposal for hosting & helping doc organizing. We just have to find funds & define strategy (ie : do we want to have 1 common doc in english with various translation ? how to manage the diffs between MARC21 & UNIMARC ? ...)
15:23 slef      Do we know jferraro's opinion of this?
15:23 paul      does anyone have something to say or are you waiting for more infos from me ?
15:23 JYL       JYL is looking for an english manual first !
15:23 shedges   are we like to find any funds?
15:23 paul      one question after another...
15:23 JYL       Let's concentrate on one good english manual first (Proposal!)
15:23 rach      do they write the documentation?
15:23 paul      NO.
15:23 rach      OK
15:23 paul      they provide tools to write common documentation.
15:23 emiliano  ok
15:24 paul      on a web based interface.
15:24 paul      I think that's what we really lack today.
15:24 slef      I am worried by www.neodoc.org as it seems bigger on process and technology than writing.
15:24 rach      or is that not right?
15:24 emiliano  but need volunteers for writing
15:24 slef      Yes, the problem is writing.
15:24 Denis     Would the manual on-line or a printed-one?
15:24 paul      for neodoc, it's XML technology
15:25 Denis     ok
15:25 paul      so can produce PDF & HTML versions as well as anything else
15:25 slef      jferraro has a draft of a sysadmin manual, which I will help with
15:25 chris     yeah that sysadmin manual is comig along nicely
15:25 rach      yep it looks like a good tool, but we don't have much to publish yet :-)
15:26 paul      the question of the chicken & the egg... (frenchism ?)
15:26 rach      yes
15:26 slef      So we need to find librarians who will write, or learn enough library to write it ourselves, and give those doing the writing whatever they want.
15:26 JYL       Soory guys, but in my opinion we need manuals to reassure our librarians
15:26 jmlongo   exactly... :)
15:26 shedges   Someone needs to be the "documentation" tyrant and dictate what is done -- and where
15:26 chris     yep
15:26 paul      everybody agrees I think.
15:26 slef      Put neodoc in the maybe/later stack for now.
15:26 paul      a few months ago, I asked for help on french ML
15:26 rach      that's why I asked really - is it a problem that technology can solve? or is it a "people problem" that we need some people to actuallly do it
15:27 Denis     do you know the Macromedia e-Help software?
15:27 paul      I got only 2 answers.
15:27 JYL       Stephen you're a master of documentation until now
15:27 slef      Denis: is it free software?
15:27 paul      rach => i don't know.
15:27 paul      slef => no
15:27 Denis     no
15:27 chris     i think we need people, i like stephens answer we need a documentation tyrant
15:27 paul      but that's technology denis loves ;-)
15:27 rach      well good tools can help - if people *like* using it then they might do more
15:27 Denis     but it is very...helpful to build an help
15:28 paul      shedges => do you want to be doc dictator ?
15:28 chris     who should work close with a release manager and we should make it our policy for the future
15:28 chris     no new release without accompanying documentation
15:29 rach      so we should have a "documentor" who works with the release manager
15:29 Denis     excuse me my cat is asking me to open the door
15:29 paul      & who should release often/release soon documentation to be able to translate into various languages.
15:29 rach      yes
15:29 Denis     i am back
15:29 JYL       Stephen I'm your servitor !
15:29 rach      So I think we need to attract some people interested in this to the project
15:29 JYL       be the tyrant of our common documentation !
15:30 shedges   hmmm.  if you guys decide on the right doc tools, i do a pretty good tyrant act!
15:30 rach      if we can't bully stephen into doing it :-)
15:30 JYL       be the tyrant of our common documentation !
15:30 rach      Paul/Denis what does NeoDoc cost?
15:30 Denis     Paul?
15:30 slef      To be honest, I think the first stage is for the RM to start refusing undocumented commits. My attempts to understand and describe koha have been hindered by undocumented code.
15:31 chris     good point
15:31 shedges   yep, that's basic
15:31 jmlongo   yep..
15:31 paul      something like 700Euros for setting up the site.
15:31 shedges   would everyone who wrotes docs have to have a neodoc license?
15:32 paul      NO, it's only free software based
15:32 paul      and it's only help for setting up Borges
15:32 paul      and helping organising the work
15:32 paul      they also provide proof reading.
15:33 paul      they propose 300E for each document structure to set.
15:33 paul      (after the 700 set up fee)
15:33 jmlongo   wow!
15:33 slef      Is it web-based?
15:33 chris     wow is right
15:33 rach      yes it is
15:34 shedges   what else is out there?
15:34 chris     i wonder, could we send someone off on a mission to find that out
15:34 slef      We can probably forget about my customers using web-based systems, as they have slow lines.
15:34 emiliano  sorry but I think we're discussing about tools when the real problem is effort-people isn't it?
15:34 slef      emiliano++
15:34 owen      Yes
15:34 rach      yep
15:35 chris     so step 1
15:35 shedges   OK, but the bullying people to make the effort would be my task.
15:35 chris     try to gather together some doc writers
15:35 shedges   yep
15:35 rach      yep - but we need some people to actually do the writing
15:35 paul      ok, but i was speaking of them because of stephen writing.
15:35 emiliano  I think we'll do documentation for librarians but in spanish ;-)
15:35 chris     step 2, then find out out what tools would ork
15:35 chris     work too
15:35 paul      yes rach, but HOW to explain what & how to write ?
15:36 Denis     emiliano in dutch ;-)
15:36 shedges   doing docs in other languages is OK, as long as we share.
15:36 shedges   i learn a lot from paul's docs
15:36 emiliano  ok we'll publish
15:36 paul      paul's doc ? which one ?
15:36 shedges   wiki stuff
15:36 paul      ok
15:36 paul      but wiki is OK only for developpers.
15:37 rach      Yes
15:37 paul      for librarians we need a nice PDF printable document
15:37 jmlongo   that's true...
15:37 rach      yes
15:37 shedges   format comes after content
15:37 rach      but could we start with getting the actual information on the wiki?
15:37 shedges   how do we build the content?
15:37 JYL       Could we agree on simple approach, 0) release new functions 1) online help 2) end user manual and so on ,!
15:37 rach      OK here is a quick summary of where I think we are at with this
15:38 rach      We currently do very patchy documentation and help
15:38 paul      mmm... maybe JYL did the suggestion we need to leave this forever lasting question of the chicken & the egg
15:38 Denis     Online help is very important for me
15:38 rach      and we don't have tools that are well liked to do it
15:38 slef      shedges: need to figure out what is most important, first
15:39 shedges   finish the online help for 2.2
15:39 paul      yep.
15:39 Denis     I agree
15:39 JYL       right !
15:39 paul      (koha.org still inaccessible from france)
15:39 rach      SO we need a voulunteer to do that?
15:39 slef      Do we have a 2.2 test server with "Help" links going to the wiki?
15:40 paul      no, but that may be a good idea slef.
15:40 JYL       Paul, do we get the needed "change langage" button in the 2.2 release ?!
15:40 Denis     Paul : this is a G. W. Bush action
15:40 chris     i commited it jyl, and a smaple template
15:40 chris     sample too
15:40 JYL       BRAVO !
15:40 paul      i've included it in official OPAC
15:40 chris     it will need to be added to whatever templates you want it on
15:41 paul      (it's now on opac-main.pl, with CSS template. appears only when you're logged)
15:41 chris     back to documentation... i think stephen has been bullied into be a tyrant
15:41 shedges   (can that be done??)
15:41 chris     ud think not :-)
15:41 rach      Yep
15:42 owen      Stephen doesn't need any encouragement to be a tyrant! ;)
15:42 rach      OK it is now officially stephens problem :-)
15:42 chris     so the next step is a call for doc writers .. to try and build a team?
15:42 shedges   chris will look for good tools?
15:42 JYL       yes, just requires for our help
15:42 chris     and then decide what to focus on
15:42 chris     and how
15:42 rach      yep I think so, stephen up for that?
15:42 shedges   yep
15:42 jmlongo   :)
15:42 rach      great
15:43 rach      Next...
15:43 paul      wow, the koha team will be very long & worldwide ;-)
15:43 chris     stephen: yep ill do a look, but it probably wont be until after the honeymoon, so others could look as well
15:43 Denis     could we summarize about documentation?
15:43 paul      chris goes for honeymoon, paul goes for baby...
15:43 chris     :)
15:43 jmlongo   I'll look up too...
15:43 shedges   ok, chris, you're excused for a while!
15:43 paul      but no more than 2 weeks ;-)
15:43 chris     heh
15:44 JYL       Stephen, what do you think, we focus on 'end user manual'  ?!
15:44 emiliano  end user
15:44 emiliano  librarian?
15:44 shedges   yes indeed!
15:44 jmlongo   End USER!!... yeah!!  :)
15:44 Denis     OPAC?
15:44 JYL       yes, sorry emiliano
15:44 paul      no, i think jyl speaks of librarian (vs developper)
15:44 shedges   the admin help and the opac help are the most important
15:44 JYL       I'm still using that silly IT langage...
15:45 rach      Stephen has agreed to be the "project manager" for documentation, to organise the various documentation efforts, encourage developers to write the tech stuff, and some other people to translate that for librarians, and into other languages
15:45 slef      OPAC is end user, please don't confuse that.
15:45 owen      patron is the end user of the opac, librarians are the end users of the intranet
15:45 rach      He will send the list an e-mail about that and like the 2.4 release conversation
15:45 slef      end user of the library uses the OPAC. koha is not yet the center of this world ;-)
15:46 paul      & i'll bug french mailing list too...
15:46 rach      we can have a more focused indepth one on documentation on list
15:46 chris     give us time slef :-)
15:46 rach      rather than right now :-)
15:46 slef      shedges++
15:46 chris     sounds good
15:46 rach      Right - I think that Koha hosting is next?
15:46 Denis     U can use RoboDemo to make some films
15:46 paul      what ? slef ? you are really sure Koha is not the center of this world ? i'm very disappointed :-D
15:47 rach      I'm hoping that Mike will sort out the whole sitemap/how to find stuff, bit
15:47 slef      Will shedges chair the list discussion?
15:47 jmlongo   it depends on what world u live  :)
15:47 shedges   on koha?  or koha-devel?
15:47 paul      lol
15:47 JYL       Could we have a sourceforge mailing list dedicated to documentation ?
15:48 JYL       Or do we continue on the Wiki only ?!
15:48 slef      JYL: wait for traffic to be high enough. shedges: I suspect koha.
15:48 shedges   OK
15:48 paul      so, webhosting ?
15:48 shedges   (let's the list lurkers know we're working on it)
15:50 chris     what was koha hosting about rach?
15:50 slef      so, webhosting ?
15:51 jmlongo   webhosting of what?
15:51 paul      it was related to the various web hostings we have i suspect
15:51 rach      umm I think it was about finding all the koha websites
15:51 paul      yep.
15:51 rach      yes- rather than changing the hostings
15:51 paul      i think there are a lot of web sites related to koha
15:51 paul      and it's not easy for a newbie to find all informations.
15:51 rach      Yes
15:52 russ      that is confusing
15:52 indradg   hi all... sorry for being late... :)
15:52 paul      afaik, www.koha.org/irc is announced nowhere !
15:52 paul      (it's just an example)
15:52 jmlongo   that's true
15:52 chris     yep
15:52 rach      True
15:52 rach      right Mike - you still here?
15:52 mikem     yep still here
15:52 paul      and slef site too.
15:52 slef      paul: it's linked from Kohao so, webhosting ?
15:52 paul      and wiki too.
15:52 rach      how do you feel about turning into super sleuth, and finding all the useful Koha stuff
15:53 paul      ??? slef ???
15:53 slef      paul: it's linked from AnglKohao.
15:53 mikem     rach: that is the plan ... will start with a page on the Wiki, so that people can add links that they know off
15:53 slef      sorry, mispasted a mo ago
15:53 rach      and working out how to make the koha.org site the "hub" so that people find things
15:53 rach      and it all makes a bit more sense
15:54 rach      Cool - and as you're just up the road
15:54 rach      you can come in here and get a training session on koha website
15:54 slef      mikem: have you a bugs.koha.org account and will chris reassign web bugs to you?
15:54 russ      rach - i can do that
15:54 chris     yep, and yep
15:55 mikem     Slef ... yes I have ... and I will hit that shortly
15:55 rach      Excellent
15:55 rach      SO I think the last thing is bugs?
15:55 paul      so, we could add a link from www.koha.org, www.koha-fr.org, slef site & kados & other to this common wiki page.
15:55 chris     well now we have russ as QA
15:55 paul      good solution.
15:56 slef      paul: what common wiki page?
15:56 chris     he can start reassigning bugs, pestering people
15:56 Denis     A problem is the mix of informations concerning different versions of KOHA
15:56 rach      www.koha.org/wiki
15:56 paul      slef : see mikem line
15:57 chris     yes you are right denis, there is old information that shold dissapear
15:57 rach      yes denis that is a problem
15:57 slef      OK. Why not use the koha webring idea?
15:57 slef      Information should be clearly versioned or dated.
15:57 paul      for both koha.org & koha-fr.org.
15:57 Denis     In the web site the documentation should be ordrered by version
15:57 rach      ok that is a good idea
15:57 JYL       yes we need to add an archive section on the wiki for older releases.
15:58 paul      not just on wiki.
15:58 paul      on website too
15:58 rach      Mike you gather the ideas, and then let me know what you need for the Koha site, and come in and we can talk with the techs here about how to achieve it
15:58 rach      if that works for you
15:58 JYL       yeah, probably on website too...
15:58 mikem     no worries Rach
15:58 rach      So out of this meeting we are going to get 3 "roadmaps" basically
15:59 rach      one for the 2.4 release
15:59 rach      one for the documentation
15:59 rach      and one for the website/online stuff
15:59 rach      I think
15:59 chris     well 3 discussions
15:59 rach      yes - that;s what I meant
15:59 chris     and from those discussions will come roadmaps
15:59 rach      yes
15:59 rach      and then ACTION :-)
16:00 slef      Is there a release target date for 2.2?
16:00 paul      1 month
16:00 rach      great
16:00 Denis     tomorrow Paul?
16:00 Denis     ;-)
16:00 paul      today is 2.1.2
16:01 paul      Ecole des Mines de Nantes will begin with 2.1.2 in real life soon
16:01 paul      (1 week or so)
16:01 paul      as I think there are no more blocking bugs.
16:01 rach      woo exciting
16:01 shedges   we won't have complete docs for 2.2 in one month.
16:01 emiliano  A question..
16:01 paul      :-(
16:01 paul      yep emiliano ?
16:01 shedges   but probably the online docs can be pretty well done
16:01 JYL       good remark Stephen
16:01 jmlongo   bu the disclaimer says that we should NEVER NEVER NEVER use it production!
16:02 slef      There will be 2.0.2 this week, too. Biblio fix, removal of spanish suggestion and whatever other bugs are squashed in the next 24 hours.
16:02 jmlongo   :)
16:02 paul      yep.
16:02 emiliano  what are the criterias for introducing new tables in a release
16:02 emiliano  in the database I mean
16:02 paul      i think it needs too many attention to be able to release it publicly.
16:02 chris     cool slef
16:02 rach      way to go slef
16:02 paul      we need more testing of the installer/updater.
16:03 chris     documentation about why/how they are used emiliano
16:03 chris     and a way to upgrade from the old db
16:03 emiliano  ok could be posted in misc scripts from cvs
16:03 slef      Can bugs.koha.org defaults be updated, please? Lots of stuff still gets assigned to Steve.
16:03 Denis     documetion wil be only for 2.2 and 2.4 not for 2.0?
16:04 chris     there is an updatedabase script, so usually just editing that, and then writing some documentation about what the new tables are for
16:04 paul      denis => you can see irc logs on koha.org/irc
16:04 paul      (saying this in case your battery is ended)
16:04 Denis     thank you Paul
16:04 slef      Denis: 2.0 is getting sysadmin documentation as I find it, but will probably not get librarian or end-user docs.
16:04 Denis     oki slef
16:05 paul      emiliano => all updates of DB must be done through updater/updatedatabase script.
16:05 paul      but it has to be cleaned, because it's from 1.0.0 DB...
16:05 emiliano  ok
16:06 paul      I think it could be modified to update from 2.0 to 2.4
16:06 paul      & we could say "if you have a 1.2 version, update to 2.0, THEN to 2.4"
16:06 rach      So is there anything else on the agenda for today? CVS v's ARCH was mentioned
16:06 paul      yep.
16:06 rach      otherwise we can lapse into general discussion
16:06 chris     ive gotta go, ill be back in a little while
16:07 paul      bye chris
16:07 mikem     l8r chris
16:07 paul      slef ? something to say about CVS vs ARCH ?
16:07 owen      slef, did you want to bring up specific bugs?
16:07 rach      oh yes - I can do a summary of the bugs if anyone still can't get to bugs.koha.org
16:08 emiliano  paul, another little question
16:08 paul      (denis battery has ended...)
16:08 paul      yes emiliano
16:08 slef      paul: What do you want to know? Managing 2.0 became very easy after the move, as I can make prerelease tarballs with a single command (no extra download space) and the buildrelease.pl goes away
16:08 mikem     bugs.koha.org works fine for me ;-)
16:08 emiliano  Serials didn't introduce new tables?
16:08 paul      yes.
16:08 emiliano  ok
16:08 slef      It's just a shame that no other public archives for 2.0 were posted, but I guess 2.2 has all the appeal for developers now.
16:08 paul      they introduce 3 tables.
16:09 rach      So Slef would you advocate eveyone moving ot it?
16:09 owen      The issue of CVS vs. Arch doesn't hing solely on the ease of use for developers.  There are also the /end users/ to think about
16:09 emiliano  are there in updatedatabase?
16:09 paul      yes
16:09 emiliano  ok
16:09 emiliano  nice!!
16:09 rach      is there generally a problem with different releases using different systems (I'm assuming there is)
16:09 paul      owen => why are end users concened by cvs/arch ?
16:09 slef      rach: yes, but it would be best if we can offer arch hosting if there are developers who need it.
16:09 rach      but happy to be corrected
16:10 slef      owen: I hope putting troublesome bugs in the topic is enough attention that people will look at it when the meeting finishes ;-)
16:10 owen      Well, there's the issue of the CVS mailing list.  And there's the Web view available through Sourceforge--even though it's not updated often enough, it can be useful at times
16:11 paul      my question about arch is : is every developper ready to switch to this new platform ?
16:11 slef      rach: I think it's a more general communication problem. When I ask 2.2 developers for patches, most ignore them.
16:11 paul      this means having a learning curve
16:11 shedges   yeah, i think the reasons to switch have to be pretty strong.
16:12 slef      owen: as far as I can remember, no-one raised the issue of the CVS mailing list until 2 hours ago. I can probably configure that.
16:12 rach      but slef for maintenance you think that aarch is good?
16:12 paul      i know the weaknesses of CVS, & deals with them
16:12 rach      or for development too?
16:12 paul      but if everybody want to switch, i'll switch too.
16:12 shedges   i still haven't figured arch out :-(
16:12 slef      I think it's essential for maintenance, but would help make it easier to get new developers.
16:12 paul      (i even have found a complete tutorial in french ;-) )
16:13 slef      shedges: have you seen http://www.mjr.dsl.pipex.com/uzu-arkon.html ?
16:13 shedges   yep
16:13 slef      email me questions about it and I'll try to answer swiftly
16:13 paul      slef => you really think it will be easier to ge new developers ? because ppl uses often CVS, but who uses arch ?
16:14 slef      paul: at present, new developers have a hard time using revision control until they are given commit access to the main tree. arch solves that and also makes merging branches easier.
16:14 paul      from a tech point of view, you're completly right.
16:15 paul      but, for example, Emiliano => if koha had been with arch
16:15 slef      paul: so, yes. User numbers aren't that relevant, as long as it's about as easy, otherwise we'd all be using Microsoft and Penlib or something, wouldn't we?
16:15 paul      would it have changed something to your choice ?
16:15 paul      (= choice to get involved in Koha)
16:15 paul      (emiliano or matias)
16:16 emiliano  I think no, i find
16:16 paul      slef => right ;-)
16:16 emiliano  cvs very difficult
16:16 emiliano  and very time-consuming
16:16 paul      ok, so if everybody is ready to switch to arch, i agree
16:16 paul      katipo & Nelsonville => your opinion ?
16:17 emiliano  but don't think it will restrict access to others
16:17 russ      it is a shame chris had to leave
16:17 rach      to give our opinion
16:17 russ      i am sure he has an opinion
16:17 shedges   i'll keep trying (with slef's help)
16:17 rach      so that it doesn't interfere with the release of 2.1/2.2
16:17 owen      I'm worried about the transition to arch because I'm used to a Windows GUI.  But I'm definitely in the minority there.  I'll go with whatever is agreed upon.
16:18 rach      is that a sensible approach?
16:18 shedges   yep
16:18 JYL       Am I right saying that this source management choice
16:18 paul      owen => there are some GUI on arch
16:18 slef      owen: yes, windows support is somewhat lacking for arch, that's true. You'll need a CVS gateway or cygwin IIRC.
16:18 MattH     as someone with years of cvs experience, i'd be backing staying with cvs
16:18 JYL       is only linked with future 2.4 release ?!
16:18 MattH     but then i'm not what you'd call and active koha developer
16:19 MattH     please forgive my intrusion
16:19 rach      (not yet :-)
16:19 paul      look here : http://better-scm.berlios.de/comparison/comparison.html for various nice GUI for arch
16:19 rach      OK - what I would like so that we can make a sensible choice
16:20 rach      is for a quick run down on what is good about CVS
16:20 rach      what is bad or difficult in CVS
16:20 paul      now ?
16:20 rach      what problems ARCH solves
16:20 russ      i would say a email to the dev list would be the go
16:20 rach      and what some potential problems with a change might be
16:20 rach      because to me, this is hearts and minds stuff for developers
16:21 paul      slef, you initiate the thread ?
16:21 rach      I *know* you are all capable of learning a new thing, as long as you see that it is worthwhile
16:21 slef      http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/SubVersionAndCvsComparison
16:21 slef      I'll hang on for a few in case here are questions here, then summarise in the first email.
16:22 rach      that would be great thanks slef
16:22 matias    people...I´m leaving...gotta go...
16:22 rach      thanks matias
16:22 paul      bye matias
16:22 rach      OK i think that is the end of the formal part of the meeting?
16:23 matias    bye Paul...bye all...
16:23 matias    see you...
16:23 rach      it is now time for drinks and nibbles :-)
16:23 russ      mike give me a call on the Katipo number when you are ready to come in about the website
16:23 JYL       or a little rest for us maybe ?!
16:23 rach      or to thrash out anything else, if people are keen to hang about
16:24 rach      or yes rest for you :-)
16:24 emiliano  a little out of topic
16:24 emiliano  didn't you receive
16:24 mikem     russ ... no worries ... rach: when are you back from the US?
16:24 emiliano  comments about mysql license
16:24 emiliano  changes
16:24 JYL       Ok, thanks for this interesting discussion folks !
16:24 emiliano  and Koha relation with it?
16:25 paul      bye jean yves
16:25 paul      have a good night
16:25 JYL       Stephen don't hesitate to ask for help
16:25 shedges   thanks!
16:25 rach      back on the 18th of October
16:25 JYL       Bye ! and Paul tell me about your installer tests...
16:25 mikem     thanks Rach
16:26 rach      thanks for coming everyone, a bit of a marathon meeting
16:26 JYL       Rach, should be a good idea to plan the next meeting maybe ?!
16:26 slef      emiliano: they just broadened  the exception a bit, didn't they?
16:26 russ      paul i will send you and email about the qa stuff
16:26 paul      JYL => 1000% right !
16:26 paul      ok
16:26 shedges   2 weeks?
16:27 slef      Plan meeting on list, else we make it hard for people not here now.
16:27 emiliano  bad time to question :-)
16:27 rach      yes I agree slef
16:27 JYL       2 short meetings a month is fine for me
16:28 paul      jyl : the problem is that it's rarely short ;-)
16:28 russ      bye all
16:29 JYL       yeah, we probably need more german co-workers to stress timing issues... lol
16:29 slef      JYL: xenophobe
16:30 JYL       Ok, still need to test a few things, bye and have a good night
16:30 paul      bye JYL
16:30 MattH     it's a stereotype, not xenophobia
16:30 JYL       slef, take a look at where I live and you will understand that I love my neighbours !
16:31 shedges   bye jean yves
16:31 shedges   bye paul
16:31 shedges   bye all, i'm gone, too
16:31 jmlongo   Paul: you wanted to talk about po files?
16:31 paul      right.
16:31 paul      (it's almost midnight here. i was forgotting...)
16:32 jmlongo   or are your battteries too low?  :)
16:32 paul      I've set up a webserver for french translation.
16:32 paul      it uses kartouche.
16:32 emiliano  paul seems to be solar
16:32 paul      (look at bureau.paulpoulain.com/ kartouche)
16:32 paul      (without the space)
16:32 paul      it works fine for any iso5589-1 language i think
16:32 mikem     chris: just for when you get back, I have updated bugs.koha.org to make myself the initial contact for the website related bugs/issues
16:33 paul      so I could set up a .po file for spanish translation too
16:33 paul      and generate the official .po file from there
16:33 slef      what about utf-8?
16:33 paul      (if you need some help, of course)
16:33 paul      slef => i don't know. i haven't dig
16:33 slef      How do we use .po files at the minute?
16:34 paul      misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl to generate/update the .po
16:34 paul      and to generate the translated templates
16:34 jmlongo   that would be grat..
16:34 paul      kartouche "eats" the .po file & can regenerate it after translations.
16:34 paul      so, the process is :
16:35 paul      * tmpl_process3.pl create/update
16:35 paul      * import into kartouche
16:35 paul      * translate
16:35 paul      * export .po file again
16:35 paul      * tmpl_process3.pl generate
16:35 emiliano  it seems to be very nice
16:35 emiliano  is OSS?
16:35 paul      yep.
16:35 paul      (used by a kde translation team)
16:36 paul      (for hungarian or something like that)
16:36 jmlongo   we were planning to use kbabel... because of it's database facilities
16:36 emiliano  is there a way to "remember" terms or phrases?
16:36 kados     hi all
16:36 paul      a little bit hacked by me
16:36 paul      hi kados.
16:36 kados     sorry I'm late
16:36 jmlongo   does kartouche offers something similar?
16:36 paul      no, you arrive after the battle ;-)
16:36 kados     hehe
16:36 slef      kartouche is originally welsh
16:36 paul      right
16:36 slef      and has omnivore as a translation memory
16:36 paul      right too
16:37 emiliano  omnivore?
16:37 jmlongo   ???
16:37 slef      another web system
16:37 paul      but i don't know how to use omnivore.
16:37 slef      me neither... I translate files with a text editor atm
16:38 emiliano  I'm worried about reusing translations
16:38 emiliano  but it seems to be nice for seeing the advances
16:39 emiliano  in translation for a distributed group
16:39 emiliano  for example
16:39 paul      right
16:39 slef      context is everything, but I think the kyfieithu developers know that
16:40 slef      Are there plans to use the .po files directly from koha?
16:40 paul      not for instance.
16:40 paul      but it's a good idea
16:41 paul      (a lot of things are good ideas in fact... the problem being to do them ;-) )
16:41 jmlongo   so we wouldn't have to 'generate' templates?
16:41 paul      yep
16:41 paul      (but in fact they will be generated on the fly)
16:41 jmlongo   (I see)
16:42 emiliano  wondefull!!!
16:42 paul      what is wonderful ?
16:42 slef      Might it make the "select language" feature easier to support?
16:42 paul      mmm... yes & no.
16:42 jmlongo   I guees emiliano like things 'on the fly'  ;)
16:43 emiliano  yes
16:44 paul      a conclusion on .po subject ?
16:45 paul      (midnight in 15 minuts here... want to go to bed ;-) )
16:45 emiliano  I think we could test Kartouche, installing here
16:45 emiliano  or opening
16:45 slef      I guess it's up to emiliano to discuss.
16:45 emiliano  a new project
16:45 slef      How am I supposed to ask translators for updated templates?
16:45 emiliano  inside your Kartouche
16:46 paul      slef => probably on translation mailing list.
16:46 paul      emiliano => i'm ok to add your .po file to bureau.paulpoulain.com
16:46 chris     www.koha.org/irc
16:46 kados     sweet
16:47 emiliano  what do you think Martin?
16:47 paul      emiliano => just send your almost-translated .po file, & i'll take care of it.
16:47 paul      we cuold begin by opac.po
16:47 emiliano  I have opac.po translated
16:47 jmlongo   well... we could give it a try..
16:47 paul      just note that bureau.paulpoulain.com is my local computer.
16:47 paul      and may be switched off
16:47 emiliano  mmmm
16:47 slef      paul: they didn't answer a request for help with spanish, so I'm dropping it from the suggested list in 2.0.2
16:48 jmlongo   eeks
16:48 slef      (librarian interface and existing users can continue anyway)
16:48 paul      (i'll have a new 24/7 webserver in a few months)
16:49 emiliano  Well, I will speak with Martin
16:49 paul      slef=> nothing to say about this. I've no libraries using spanish koha, so i'm OK
16:49 paul      kartouche is quite easy to set up
16:49 paul      the biggest difficulty is to find where to download it
16:49 paul      www.freshmeat.net was my friend here
16:49 jmlongo   we'll work on it
16:49 emiliano  ok
16:50 slef      paul: not on www.kyfieithu.co.uk?
16:50 slef      yes, www.kyfieithy.co.uk -> Downloads
16:50 slef      kyfieithu damnit
16:51 paul      no, it's 0.0.1 it seems.
16:51 slef      my fingers don't speak welsh
16:51 paul      freshmeat points to 0.0.2
16:51 jmlongo   does kartouche have an english interface?
16:51 slef      ah, have you let Kevin know?
16:51 paul      yep jmlongo
16:51 paul      no.
16:52 emiliano  jajajaja
16:52 emiliano  Martin, perhaps must start translating
16:52 paul      http://www.kyfieithu.co.uk/downloads/kartouche-v0.2.tar.gz
16:52 emiliano  Kartouche
16:52 jmlongo   yessss...
16:53 jmlongo   ok... I'm downbloading it now...
16:53 jmlongo   we'll see
16:53 emiliano  ok
16:54 jmlongo   I tried to apt-get it...  but no luck...  :P
16:54 jmlongo   If we can work it out... maybe we can host po translations for othere  :*)
16:55 paul      ok, do you let me go to bed ?
16:55 slef      jmlongo: I need to educate them in the ways of debian before apt-get will work ;-)
16:55 emiliano  for me it's ok Paul
16:55 jmlongo   haha... I'll have to waut then...  :)
16:55 emiliano  regards and thanx a lot
16:56 slef      Does the koha 2.4 proposed features only have one item in it at the moment?
16:56 jmlongo   well...   have nice dreams Paul!
16:56 emiliano  nooo
16:56 paul      ok, bye bye.
16:56 emiliano  5 items
16:56 emiliano  and more for doing (?)
16:56 slef      I only see Barcodes generator.
16:56 slef      I am looking at http://biblio.fisica.unlp.edu.ar/sitio/librarian/kohapf/
16:56 emiliano  there is a little botton
16:56 emiliano  down
16:56 emiliano  that says Next
16:57 emiliano  and barcodes is included in 2.1.2
16:57 emiliano  less for 2.4
16:57 jmlongo   ok guys.. I'll have to leave now...
16:57 emiliano  slef, do you see
16:57 emiliano  ?
16:57 slef      Can that be made more obvious, please? I mistook it for part of the text.
16:58 slef      kados: date --utc
16:58 owen      Too bad you didn't calculate an hour early like I did.  It worked out better.
16:58 jmlongo   thanks for all
16:58 emiliano  sure
16:58 jmlongo   bye!
16:58 slef      jmlongo: bye
16:58 emiliano  I'll try to put in a entire document
16:58 emiliano  bye Martin
17:00 kados     I'm skeptical of the neodoc thing ...
17:00 kados     pretty expensive ...
17:00 kados     I think all we need is vi and some time :-)
17:01 emiliano  I think we need volunteers
17:01 paul      mmm... kados, remember the doc is not written by developpers (librarian doc i mean)
17:01 emiliano  I could obtain but for spanish only
17:02 kados     which docs do you mean? the sysadmin manual?
17:02 slef      Also, moving to arch would let 2.4RMs ask developers for code docs before accepting work... not sure if that would work or not
17:02 kados     or librarian docs?
17:02 paul      no, the librarian doc
17:03 emiliano  well, I'm also leaving
17:03 emiliano  regards to all
17:03 kados     cao
17:03 rach      ciao emiliano
17:08 kados     dunno ... his website appears down: http://pate.eylerfamily.org/
17:10 rach      yeah I noticed that
17:10 kados     rach: you could always use the wayback machine:
17:10 kados     http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://pate.eylerfamily.org/
17:11 rach      true - although I don't think that site had his addy on it
17:11 kados     ahh
17:14 slef      whois eylerfamily.org has an address
17:14 slef      no idea whose
17:15 Jo        Good morning
17:15 mikem     rach ... nsr would probably have his addy
17:16 Jo        Si: can I send a fax to you (telstra proposal for branches) for a quick squizz before I meet him?
17:16 rach      ok ta
17:20 Jo        rach: can i fax something to katipo for si to get sometime before Thursday?
17:22 rach      yes do it now
17:22 rach      04-934 1286
17:22 rach      he is here
17:27 Jo        cool
17:27 Jo        thanks
17:29 rach      no prob
17:40 rach      Jo is the handwriting important?
17:40 rach      because we can't really read that
17:46 Jo        nope
17:46 Jo        my scribble
17:47 Jo        i will email down my questions to si - they cover the handwriting
17:47 rach      ok
17:47 rach      have got 20 pages
17:47 rach      is that the right number
18:04 slef      kados: just replying to your old email. Sorry for the lag.
18:42 slef      http://www.kyfieithu.co.uk/manual.html
