Time Nick Message 11:56 Amit hi frederic 07:06 magnusenger Guess so. the immediacy of a mailing list has it's good bits 07:06 mason ok, off for some food.. 07:05 mason so this could be an OK solution for norwegian librarian discussions 07:05 magnusenger good point, I have used that on several occasions 07:04 mason mailing-lists are searchable as a web-forum too 07:04 magnusenger Cool. There is actually a Norwegian list too, but since nobody is using Koha here yet, there is very little traffic 07:03 mason and german, spanish 07:02 magnusenger Ah, I see that there is a french list too... 07:02 mason mostly in english :( 07:02 mason http://www.koha.org/community/mailing-lists.html 07:01 mason librraians primarily discuss on koha mailing list 07:01 magnusenger I'm a librarian, and this is like my 3rd time on irc 07:00 mason mc, yes i agree 07:00 mc (imho) 07:00 mc what do you expect using IRC? this is unknown by the masses 07:00 magnusenger So how do librarians talk to each other about Koha (if they do at all...) 06:59 magnusenger but I guess having some kind of channel for the techies might be good thing too... 06:59 magnusenger a ha, that would probably be the same here, then 06:58 paul but almost never a librarian 06:58 paul mason & magnusenger : I confirm what magnusenger says : on #koha-fr, there are only some geeks. BibLibre, of course, and sometimes an other IT guy (& sometimes Frederic, from tamil) 06:58 mason heya marc 06:58 magnusenger *hello* mc 06:58 magnusenger oops 06:58 magnusenger hell mc 06:58 magnusenger I think all librarians here speak english, but I think having that as the only language to communicate in would put people off... 06:57 mason perhaps a google.translate or babelfish translator thing might help there.. 06:57 mc hello 06:56 mason no need to exclude people from koha discussions because they cant understand english 06:56 mason its a good idea tho, 06:55 magnusenger But first we have to get some libraries to actually use Koha, I guess... 06:54 mason yes 06:54 magnusenger I think that's better to use as a reference, too, perhaps? 06:54 magnusenger I'm thinking more along the lines of a web forum 06:54 magnusenger Cool, but i have a feeling Noregian librarians aren't into irc 06:53 mason you could do the same.. 06:53 mason for discussions in french... 06:53 mason the french teams have a koha-fr #irc channel 06:52 magnusenger But we shouldn't forget the bigger community either 06:52 magnusenger I'm wondering how we should/could do that in Norway. I think we should probably have som kind og list or forum, since we're not native english speakers. 06:52 mason magnus++ 06:51 magnusenger cool 06:51 mason we have little gatherings now and again ;) 06:51 magnusenger Yes, 4 people have been working really hard on translating 3. I think they are "finnished" too, but I'm not sure all their work is included in the distro 06:50 mason no NZ lists, just part of the big community 06:50 mason is there much of a norwegian language translation for koha3? 06:49 magnusenger Or are you all "just" part of the international community? 06:49 magnusenger Do you have your own "community" - mail lists or gatherings or anything? 06:48 mason hmm, yes there are quite a few 06:48 magnusenger New Zeeland, land of the first Koha. Are there many libraries using Koha in NZ? 06:47 magnusenger about 9 degrees Celsius here, and right now I can see a rainbow from my window 06:47 mason bring some sun-block 06:46 mason very warm down here 06:46 magnusenger not sure I want that, though! 06:46 mason we have a nice ozone hole ;) 06:46 magnusenger You have spring now, right?
