15:28 Burgwork  kados, ping
15:29 kados     Burgwork: hey, just got in
15:30 kados     Burgwork: what's up?
15:30 Burgwork  just wanted to see if you got the email
15:30 kados     yup, thanks
16:47 chris     yikes
16:48 chris     http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=enhistory
16:48 chris     this is pretty much all wrong
16:49 chris     just to start, katipo isnt a consulting firm .. new zealand is a group of islands ... the list goes on
16:51 kados     heh
16:52 kados     who wrote it?
16:52 chris     askress2009 put it up
16:52 chris     it looks to be screen scraped from somewhere else
16:53 chris     Open Source Integrated Library Systems: An Overview/ Eric Anctil, Jamshid Beheshti.-2003
16:53 chris     hmm how to deal with it
16:53 kados     looks to be pretty old
16:53 kados     2003
16:53 chris     and wrong :)
16:53 kados     well ... one way to deal would be to place italicized comments in between each paragraph, explaining where it's wrong
16:54 chris     yeah ill do that

16:55 kados     so whoever askress2009 is ...
16:55 chris     yep
16:55 chris     they did the arabic version too
16:56 chris     so ill fix the english one, and hopefully they will fix the arabic one
16:56 kados     well they probably subscribe to the rss feed, so I'm sure they'll update it
16:56 chris     cool
16:56 Burgwork  can I ask an inflamatory question: why are you guys stuck on doku? why not mediawiki or moinmoin?
16:56 chris     it works
16:56 kados     yea, mainly it works and is super simple to install
16:56 chris     hasnt annoyed us, the end
16:56 kados     yea
16:56 Burgwork  ok, just wondering
16:56 kados     I did try media wiki
16:56 kados     for the record
16:57 Burgwork  moin is probably more applicable
16:57 kados     but basically, I would be the only one who could manage it :-)
16:57 kados     haven't seen that one
16:57 chris     i wonder why my password got sent hmm
16:57 kados     would it have any advantages over doku?
16:58 Burgwork  wiki.ubuntu.com live.gnome.org and wiki.fedora.org all use moin
16:58 Burgwork  more features, nicer to use
16:58 Burgwork  active development. python
16:58 Burgwork  http://old.koha.org/about/map/ <-- redoing this interests me
16:58 Burgwork  no using googles API, however
17:01 kados     what features do they have, how are they nicer? :_)
17:01 kados     why not google api? :-)
17:01 Burgwork  visual look, mostly
17:01 Burgwork  the google maps look like google maps
17:02 Burgwork  that old map has a very nice style to it
17:02 Burgwork  very simple
17:03 kados     well the class working on this has previous experience with google, so that's part of the reason it was chosen
17:03 chris     it has a nice interface for placing things too .. but the big thing it misses why we stopped using it was a zoom in/out feature
17:03 kados     sec, phone
17:03 Burgwork  is there an implementation being worked on?
17:04 Burgwork  if you did some fancy javascript stuff, you could preload the images/divs, which would speed up the process
17:05 Burgwork  be a bit more work todo initially, but it would be pretty easy to maintain
17:05 chris     naw, it does what its designed to do (and that wasnt koha maps :-))
17:06 Burgwork  very nice
17:06 kados     this quarter it's the Koha world map
17:06 kados     and the google api is ideal because it's so easy to learn
17:06 kados     and 10 wks isn't long enough for a class to do much more
17:06 Burgwork  well, here is another solution: use one of the open source mapping solutions, like kaMaps and add the basic outline to it
17:06 Burgwork  then you get your mapping with your zoom
17:07 kados     we're sorta already committed at this point to google ... but I hear you :-)
17:07 Burgwork  yep, no worries
17:07 Burgwork  something is better than nothing
17:07 kados     yea, that's just it mainly
17:08 kados     right ... well I've gotta jet
17:08 kados     meeting and all
17:08 kados     talk to you chaps later
17:08 chris     cya later
17:08 Burgwork  cya
