05:43 rach   how are things with you?
05:43 rach   good morning
05:43 paul   good evening
05:43 paul   hello rach
05:43 rach   bon jour paul
02:09 jaredj the "suggest a purchase" link in the npl templates goes to NPL's site
02:09 jaredj whoops, heh
02:08 jaredj but i'll have to see just how much i can tweak the css templates. although i've seen a bug in them already
02:08 jaredj i really like their layout - and their colors for that matter...
02:07 jaredj yes
02:06 rach   what the npl templates?
02:06 rach   ?
02:00 jaredj aw. they don't seem to be css-ful
01:58 jaredj i'm working on one right now
01:57 rach   yep
01:57 jaredj 2.2?
01:56 rach   our installation isn't up and running yet
01:55 rach   I haven't seen them
01:55 jaredj only seen the opac yet tho
01:55 jaredj speaking of help - the npl templates r0xx0r imo
01:54 jaredj i'd rather help koha than fork off
01:54 rach   rather than converting some duff stuff as well as the goodies
01:53 rach   so that all the bugs etc are sorted,
01:53 jaredj oh don't worry
01:53 rach   I would wait a bit before starting on a project like you're thinking of
01:53 jaredj t
01:53 rach   koha has been under pretty active development, adding lots of features etc
01:52 rach   sure
01:51 jaredj i think i'm in the rather rash stage of observing the way koha does things from the outside
01:50 jaredj heh ok mayyybe two of us :)
01:50 jaredj (i.e. the koha community would stay with koha and i haven't got a community)
01:50 rach   Pat was keen on Ruby
01:50 jaredj but i know i'd be the only one doing it
01:49 jaredj sigh i'd kinda like to mess around with ruby objects rather than perl hashes
01:49 jaredj yeah that's easier
01:49 jaredj that's nice.
01:49 rach   but that's a bit different
01:49 rach   people have changed databases without problem, so used Oracle for example instead of mysql
01:48 jaredj even with no mods it's still not koha
01:48 rach   and voila, a new product :-)
01:48 rach   and inevitabley they figured they could just make a few more mods, add some different features
01:48 jaredj ah yes i forgot about that
01:48 rach   open book was one of those projects, it put Koha into PhP, but the process of doing that changed it so much, it wasn't really the same thing anymore
01:48 jaredj you'd have to i guess
01:47 rach   but they basically re-released it as different software
01:47 rach   there have been a couple of people do that
01:37 jaredj to have the same functionality and use the same database but be written in python
01:37 jaredj or i like koha but i wish it were written in python, so i rewrite it
01:36 jaredj so i want to make a module that does that, and change all of the scripts to use it
01:36 jaredj for example i like koha but i think the whole process of getting data from tables and sticking it into hashes isn't centralized enough
01:34 jaredj 'refactoring' is making changes to the code that don't result in changes of behavior
01:33 jaredj sorry i mean source language - not natural language
01:31 kados  Koha is multi-language ... what do you mean by 'refactoring'?
01:29 jaredj or tried to do a huge refactoring?
01:29 jaredj has anyone tried to reimplement koha in another language?
21:31 kados  I know what you mean
15:54 kados  chris around?
