11:28 hdl_laptop  ok thanks
11:28 gmcharlt    anyway, koha-maintenance.git now exists and you shoudl be able to push to it
11:28 gmcharlt    on IRC
11:28 hdl_laptop  in an email ?
11:27 hdl_laptop  hi gmcharlt good morning.
11:27 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop: did you see my mention of koha-maintenance.git yesterday?
11:27 slef        0726? hi gmcharlt
11:26 gmcharlt    greetings #koha
10:58 kf          lol
10:57 soul9       ah, dungeon and dragons :D
10:56 soul9       d&d?
10:51 mason       they sound like like D&D characters
10:50 mason       paludis -s x-perl-experimental
10:50 mason       playman -a perl-experimental
10:49 mason       soul9++
10:20 chris       that looks commendably simple
10:15 soul9       anyways, to whoever wants to take a look: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=gentoo , feedback welcome :)
10:15 soul9       yeah, for koha installation
10:15 slef        soul9: instructions?
10:14 soul9       :)
10:14 chris       i did for about 3 months in about 2005
10:14 soul9       oh, well, i have some instructions and was wondering if anyone was in the position of taking a look at it..
10:13 slef        soul9: I used to until I tied it in knots. I might not be much help.
10:13 slef        chris: We used to call that a WikiBender where I was
10:13 soul9       anyone around using gentoo?
09:37 kf          new vocabulary - yay :)
09:34 chris       http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/go+to+town
09:33 hdl_laptop  town on ?
09:29 chris       slef is going to town on the wiki :)
08:25 chris       hi fredericd
08:25 kf          hi frederic
08:25 hdl_laptop  hello
08:24 fredericd   hello
08:09 chris       cool
08:09 kf          I will add some German training materials later
08:08 chris       often a small thing like that, makes a huge difference
08:08 chris       every little bit helps
08:05 kf          but I can translate those new mailing list mail to German when its ready
08:04 kf          I d like to contribute more to Koha, but I cant atm
08:03 kf          thanks hdl
08:03 kf          sounds great :)
08:03 chris       i love we are releasing more often again :)
08:03 hdl_laptop  in fact the sooner as possible kf ;)
08:02 chris       happy happy joy joy :)
08:02 hdl_laptop  should hopefully be issued in August.
08:02 chris       which will definitely be out before october eh?
08:02 hdl_laptop  kf: all the features which are in master version at the moment will be in reconciliation version on 3.0.3
08:01 kf          thats a no?
08:01 hdl_laptop  I chose not to take in hold queues which adds a new table.
08:00 kf          i d really like to have that feature in a stable version before october ...
08:00 paul_p      hello all
08:00 kf          hi paul
08:00 chris       hi paul_p :)
07:59 kf          hdl_laptop: you wrote yesterday about cherry picking holds to 3.0.2, does that mean the "holdability flag"?
07:59 chris       me too
07:58 kf          I m really courious about the results
07:58 chris       cool
07:58 kf          yes, i follow her on twitter
07:58 chris       she is writing up her results now i think
07:57 kf          yes
07:57 chris       katrin kopf?
07:57 kf          a library in bremen, one in hannover and one in stuttgart considering migration to koha
07:57 kf          there is a library student doing a survey about koha
07:57 chris       yay!
07:57 kf          our project is still not official - but i get mails asking about Koha - I think the interest will be great, once its announced
07:57 chris       and yes i think waiting for 3.2 is a good idea, as lots is still changing
07:56 chris       should be 3.0.2 soon, but there wont be too many changes
07:56 kf          3.0.1 is complete and we decided not to start with 3.2
07:55 kf          I think its because there is no translation work atm
07:55 kf          back
07:55 Amit        hi kf
07:54 chris       excellent
07:53 Amit        chris; i m working on dari & pashto translation
07:45 chris       *nod*
07:44 hdl_laptop  it all depends on the community.
07:43 hdl_laptop  But it is the problem with mailing lists,
07:43 hdl_laptop  oh i hadnot realized that.
07:43 kf          sorry, meeting atm, bbl
07:41 chris       yes she said they had been quiet lately
07:41 hdl_laptop  nice to see you yesterday kf. Were you not there any longer when i spoke about german lists ?
07:39 hdl_laptop  hi chris and kf
07:35 soul9       hello all
07:32 kf          morning chris
07:31 chris       evening
03:39 Amit        heya mason
03:39 mason       morning amit
03:32 chris       excellent
03:32 Amit        my team is on top delhi daredevils
03:31 chris       hi amit
03:31 Amit        good morning #koha
03:31 Amit        hi chris, brendan, mason
02:29 chris       he's good like that
02:29 Jo          hehe - he has helped me on irc a number of times :)
02:29 chris       different gender tho :)
02:28 chris       jo, you have met atz before eh? he is a Joe too :)
02:28 Jo          yepo.
02:28 atz         np
02:28 Jo          thanks Atz
02:28 chris       we will have the opportunity to fix it again if we get something wrong (i have scheduled a few test migrations) but as close as possible is a good start :)
02:27 Jo          be 10 minutes
02:27 Jo          to make sure I got it right!
02:27 Jo          just double checking the mapping table
02:27 Jo          ok.
02:27 chris       yep
02:27 Jo          Re lof from the koha meeting: would that be on the wiki?
02:26 chris       yep, you cant do more than one .. and i dont think you will be able to do more than one in the future, but you might be able to do see also/see instead type links
02:26 Jo          (in our brains i mean)
02:26 Jo          so for now, we'll stick with 1 ccode
02:26 Jo          ok.
02:26 chris       which i think we can solve with the summary records maybe
02:25 Jo          at the moment i have to choose 1 or the other.
02:25 Jo          chris: exactly.
02:25 Jo          I am setting advanced search to CCode, but using itemtypes to arrange the collection. ccodes in adv search looks like a good way to cluster all related itemtypes iunto 1 search
02:25 chris       basically the problem is you have a book that you want to appear when someone searches LP (large print) and when they search for F (fiction)
02:24 atz         but that doesn't put more CCODE fields in the dB
02:24 atz         you can make other MARC fields governed by CCODE
02:24 Jo          i think the authorized values can be set to allow you to enter more than 1 (in patrons i think ...)
02:23 chris       atz: i think the summary records will solve the problem jo is seeking to achieve
02:23 chris       wont be in 3.0.x though
02:22 Jo          ok.
02:22 chris       ahh we are working on a fix for that
02:22 Jo          so that a LP novel can appear in the advanced search in the LP and (rather than or) in the F lists
02:22 atz         Jo: no, it's one field in the DB
02:22 chris       is that possible in marc?
02:21 Jo          so that i can assign yep.
02:21 chris       so an item can have more than one ccode?
02:21 Jo          question for you: is it possible to make ccode a repeatable field
02:21 chris       did you read the minutes/log from this mornings koha meeting?
02:21 Jo          hey Chris
02:21 chris       heya jo
01:11 mason       chris: back on now..
01:04 brendan     we're prepared. if need be
01:04 chris       yeah
01:03 brendan     it's just so rapid...
01:03 brendan     so for now... I'm good
01:02 brendan     I'm upwind about 8.5 miles
01:02 chris       do you think you will need to evacuate?
01:02 chris       yikes
00:53 brendan     Afternoon Winds Blow Wildfire Toward Mission Canyon and East; Evac Orders and Warnings Expanded Dramatically
00:53 brendan     Jesusita Fire Rages “Out of Control�
00:48 brendan     hey chris -- the fire has gotten worse over the day...  afternoon winds kicked up ...  the fire looks four times as big as last night
23:01 chris       hehe yeah, we know how to get the good deals to the US, ... not so much the other way
23:00 chris       ohh good idea reed
22:49 reed        so if next kohacon is in wellington then it might be good to find out when those windows are and try to do it then
22:48 reed        8 wks advance is about right
22:48 reed        and not too much advance notice or too little
22:48 reed        but not during holidays, etc
22:48 reed        fyi - there's almost always sub $1000 (US) flights at http://www.airnewzealand.com/
22:17 chris       mason: you about?
22:04 pianohacker rhcl: Are you in the denver area?
22:01 chris       best way to do it
22:01 davi        and at the same time contribute something.
22:01 davi        ok, good to know. I hope fix it in two or three months. I will use that task to get more used to the Koha source code
21:59 gmcharlt    davi: no problem, that bug isn't urgent
21:50 rhcl        Too much.
21:50 atz         you have to know middle initials to tell them apart
21:49 chris       heh
21:49 atz         w/ usernames  crc and cfc
21:49 chris       and you too rhcl
21:49 chris       atz you should add yourself to this :)
21:49 chris       http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=irc_regulars
21:49 atz         rhcl: if you think that is confusing, you should try working w/ both of them at the same time
21:48 chris       :)
21:48 chris       im chris cormack, and i have never lived in connecticut
21:48 rhcl        What? My tech services director lied to me AGAIN?
21:48 chris       does that remove confusion :)
21:48 chris       im not chris catalfo
21:47 rhcl        OK, so I'm confused. Librarything says you live in Connecticut, but everything else makes it sound like you're in NZ. So which is it?
21:47 davi        gmcharlt, I think it will take me two months to fix that bug, depending on my work load. I hope there is not urgent?
21:45 chris       rhcl: when you have inlaws continents away, a blog is a good way to keep the grandparents up to date :)
21:43 chris       (thats ad advert here, L&P world famous, in new zealand)
21:42 chris       in nz
21:42 chris       heh
21:42 rhcl        chris: I didn't know you had a blog. Gee, you're world famous.
21:39 gmcharlt    ping me tonight / tomorrow morning if you run into problems
21:39 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1: if you're still here, koha-maintenance.git exists and gitosis should let you push to it
21:36 chris       re NZ, im sure I can swing a good deal on a venue (read no cost to attend) but yes the airfare is the gotcha
21:34 Colin       Bye all
21:34 cait        good night everybody
21:28 hdl_laptop1 bonne nuit _eric_b
21:26 gmcharlt    g'night
21:26 _eric_b     bonne nuit hdl!
21:26 hdl_laptop1 good night
21:25 davi        night
21:25 slef        night all
21:25 hdl_laptop1 pls keep me informed when I can push my testing branch
21:24 hdl_laptop1 thanks all and gmcharlt.
21:24 jwagner     Useful session -- thanks all.
21:24 wizzyrea    good ideas :)
21:24 pianohacker agreed, good night and good morning
21:24 wizzyrea    thanks everybody
21:24 Sharon      ty
21:24 gmcharlt    thanks all
21:24 gmcharlt    :)
21:24 gmcharlt    ok, well to accommodate people who have this really strange desire for sleep, let's call this meeting adjourned
21:24 pianohacker yup
21:23 hdl_laptop1 I think regional session is good, but worldwide is also good to get some more general view.
21:23 calyx       Thanks for the good meeting - Time to start my day. Cheers all.
21:23 rhcl        Denver! Great place except for driving in downtown.
21:23 wizzyrea    pianohacker ++
21:23 pianohacker wizzyrea: hehe
21:23 Brooke      nice
21:23 pianohacker There's some libraries moving to Koha in Colorado, maybe I can convince some of them to go
21:23 slef        hdl_laptop1: your clock is 8 mins fast ;)
21:22 wizzyrea    It's a kegger even you can enjoy, pianohacker
21:22 hdl_laptop1 ok guys, 23:30 here.
21:22 wizzyrea    ;)
21:22 pianohacker wizzyrea: You enjoy that too much
21:22 rhcl        Yummy. We'll be there.
21:22 wizzyrea    Koha explorer's Group. What were you thinking?
21:22 wizzyrea    yea, you're all welcome at our keggers
21:21 Sharon      We will advertise the next KS regional users group meeting for adjoining states
21:21 jwagner     Brooke, didn't mean no big conf (esp in NZ), but I don't want that to be the only one.
21:21 Brooke      the pickle with regional sessions is that they have to be held so as not to conflict with large national gatherings.
21:21 jdavidb     Regionals++
21:21 jdavidb     I would suggest Abilene, TX, for one some time....naah!  Nevermind.  NZ sounds great to me, but it'd be a bear to get to, I 'spect.
21:21 rhcl        Regional Sessions +1
21:20 Brooke      rare that that is
21:20 Brooke      This is an international project, and I am being serious
21:20 jwagner     More seriously, I'd really be interested in some small regional sessions -- easier for various people in various areas to travel.  There was some discussion on the list a bit ago.  Hope things keep happening there.
21:19 wizzyrea    (crackers)
21:19 wizzyrea    lulz and crunchy jif peanut butter + goldfish
21:18 jwagner     Hmmm.  How to sell a trip to NZ at company expense....
21:18 Brooke      and we owe chris a new year's party...
21:18 Sharon      we 2nd that and are willing to pay our own way to go!
21:18 hdl_laptop1 to celebrate 10th year Koha
21:18 Brooke      they should have da anniversary rights
21:18 wizzyrea    Yes, and I had a great time meeting most of you, is fun to imagine you all sitting at your computers thinking koha.
21:18 Brooke      I think it should be in NZ if we're going to hold one next year
21:18 pianohacker jwagner: agreed
21:17 calyx       Schuster++
21:17 jwagner     I found Kohacon extremely helpful, and especially the devel session.
21:17 rhcl        Where will KohaCon 2010 be held?
21:17 atz         very successful event
21:17 pianohacker schuster++
21:17 Brooke      needs more alcohol next time
21:17 gmcharlt    thanks to schuster and the Plano ISD for being excellant hosts
21:17 Brooke      aw come on, let's go for an even 2.5 ;)
21:17 hdl_laptop1 I donot even have a 1.1 version up.
21:17 gmcharlt    does anybody want to say anything quickly about KohaCon?
21:16 gmcharlt    ok, well since we've already spent 2.25 hours at this
21:16 gmcharlt    I assume nobody's stepping up with a burning desire to fix or report Koha 1.1 bugs
21:15 gmcharlt    re pre < 2.2 versions
21:15 atz         cool, then i'm down with that
21:15 gmcharlt    as well as the bugs.koha.org homepage
21:15 gmcharlt    so we most likely can put in two 'new bug' links in the header - new Koha bug, new 'other' bug
21:14 gmcharlt    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&format=guided does work
21:14 hdl_laptop1 needs testing on a white box.
21:14 hdl_laptop1 But no chang in your workflow.
21:14 wizzyrea    er, I guess we don't know that for sure
21:13 hdl_laptop1 so it would be a new bookmark.
21:13 wizzyrea    so it wouldn't *have* to change your workflow...
21:13 atz         hdl_laptop1: probably some kind of link?product=koha
21:13 hdl_laptop1 koha.bugs.koha.org ?
21:13 wizzyrea    hdl_laptop1: I was wondering that myself
21:13 hdl_laptop1 or the product as subdomain ?
21:12 hdl_laptop1 atz: wouldn't it be possible to add a direct link to the product ?
21:12 atz         not sure about creation knowing what "product" to select
21:11 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1: it needs to be tested, but should be possible
21:11 hdl_laptop1 but from what I read, now we can create/update bugs on bugzilla via emails can't we ?
21:10 atz         so it' s a toss up for me
21:10 atz         namely, it gives you a product selector page on adding a new ticket
21:09 atz         wizzyrea: it changes the workflow of bugzilla if more than 1 product is defined
21:09 wizzyrea    um... make it so, #1?
21:09 atz         i agree w/ the idea, but in practice i don't want an extra click
21:08 gmcharlt    any comments?
21:08 gmcharlt    re the two smaller cleanups (creating new product for website changes) and merging/cleaning up the dropdown for Koha version
21:08 hdl_laptop1 slef: imho, could be good to indicate branch patch has been pushed on.
21:08 jdavidb     hdl_laptop1: mine was plain old clumsiness.  Didn't realize what branch I was *on*, and merged, then had to unravel and try again..  It didn't eat them, but it nibbled a little.
21:07 Sharon      ty
21:07 gmcharlt    slef: ok
21:07 Brooke      http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:roadmap3.0
21:07 hdl_laptop1 oh the changing branch syndrome jdavidb and wizzyrea
21:07 slef        gmcharlt:  I guess two most useful are having something to --cc on a git send-email command, and some link from bugs to gitweb when it gets pushed
21:07 Sharon      Brooke where's the 3.0 roadmap on the wiki?  can't find
21:06 schuster    Yes will do that before I do anything...  Moving forward!  I feel progress in motion!
21:06 jdavidb     wizzyrea++ after git ate two of mine on my repo.
21:06 wizzyrea    I just like levity ^.^
21:06 gmcharlt    schuster: go for it, but also be sure to check out the bugzilla page on the wiki
21:06 schuster    wizzyrea - must have been a long day...  too many kittens?
21:06 hdl_laptop1 thx schuster.
21:06 wizzyrea    I maded you a patch, but git eated it
21:05 schuster    Then maybe next week I can work on putting together a document about documenting a sponsored development and send it out to koha-dev for comment as well?
21:05 pianohacker i has a marc flavor?
21:05 Brooke      ftr neither the 3.0 roadmap or the 3.2 roadmap have what I'm talking about, but the 3.0 is closer.
21:05 schuster    I'll work on getting my outline for a committee to review together and send it to Koha-Dev for comment?
21:04 gmcharlt    slef: re bugzilla to gitweb links - both directions, or which one do you care about the most?
21:04 schuster    Great.
21:03 schuster    Remember "free like a kitten"...:)
21:03 gmcharlt    schuster: in a months time, I woudl say
21:03 schuster    OK end of day...  Gotta go pickup 4 year old...  Great discussion...  When's the next one?
21:02 gmcharlt    slef: but thanks for putting that up
21:02 gmcharlt    slef: in terms of details, anyway
21:02 atz         all they do is spam chat
21:02 wizzyrea    dunno, I'm pretty good with the spray bottle
21:02 atz         gmcharlt: no, in my experience.
21:02 gmcharlt    wizzyrea: but will the kittens work for Koha?
21:02 gmcharlt    sponsored - funding and dev lined up together
21:01 gmcharlt    seeking dev - have money / boxes of chocolate, want somebody to do it yesterday
21:01 jwagner     er, Have Gnu, Will Travel?  Sorry, getting a litty fuzzy.
21:01 wizzyrea    gmcharlt: that is epic win re: change sponsored
21:01 schuster    gmcharlt yep.
21:01 gmcharlt    seeking cosponsors - want partners
21:01 slef        gmcharlt: since an hour ago?
21:00 gmcharlt    slef, Brooke - which needs updating
21:00 gmcharlt    so blank - don't care
21:00 slef        Brooke: see roadmap3.2 on the wiki
21:00 gmcharlt    slef: added a seeking dev value
21:00 wizzyrea    atz: lulz
21:00 Brooke      after folks lock in features
21:00 atz         the "are we there yet?" of project management
21:00 mdhafen     I don't hear that.  My librarians don't want another (painful) upgrade ;)
21:00 gmcharlt    Brooke: october
21:00 Brooke      is there a way to roll all of this stuff into a thermometer either on the roadmap or in bugzilla to show progress.
20:59 Brooke      I'm thinking one of the most nagging questions y'all get asked as devs is when is 3.2 coming out?
20:59 davi        ok
20:59 slef        davi: never mind looked it up
20:59 Brooke      whole picture wise
20:59 wizzyrea    Ooh, yea... seeking developer or something
20:58 slef        gmcharlt: other status is seeking workers I guess?
20:58 wizzyrea    sorry, kind of had a zombie moment there
20:58 wizzyrea    we require your braaaaiiinnnnsss
20:58 wizzyrea    yes, travel safely
20:58 schuster    later chris you are very valuable...;)
20:57 davi        slef, what do you mean by "sponsorship statuses"?
20:57 wizzyrea    gmcharlt: ++ perfect
20:56 slef        davi: can you remember gnuherds sponsorship statuses or shall I check?
20:56 gmcharlt    on the bug form, it shows up in the top details box, below the horizontal line under the URL field
20:56 atz         later chris
20:56 gmcharlt    current valid values are blank, seeking cosponsors, and sponsored
20:56 chris       ok, im going to have to go get ready and head into work, will read back over the logs
20:56 gmcharlt    label on the bug form is 'change sponsored?'
20:55 gmcharlt    I've just added a sponsorship custom field
20:54 schuster    I was thinking in the Sponsorship template it might indicate a tentative released to client info...
20:54 hdl_laptop1 schuster: orig est. is your friend
20:54 gmcharlt    slef: I'll check
20:54 slef        ok, other question before I move rooms: how does the email-to-bugzilla feature work?
20:53 schuster    Oh wizzyrea - +++ and hdl_laptop1+++
20:53 wizzyrea    I think that would be VERY helpful
20:53 gmcharlt    wizzyrea: yes
20:53 hdl_laptop1 also orthogonal to time requested.
20:53 gmcharlt    slef: very, very raraely
20:53 wizzyrea    if you do a custom sponsorship field, could you have Sponsored, Looking for partners, or other sponsorship related statuses?
20:53 schuster    I don't know the back end so whatever you all feel works - that I can figure out how to extract data from!  LOL!
20:52 slef        gmcharlt: while we're simplifying: does anyone use Hardware meaningfully?
20:52 slef        gmcharlt: you're right. forgot it was in priority. also orthogonal to severity.
20:51 wizzyrea    custom field: I was just thinking that
20:51 Brooke      that used to be on the roadmap, back in the day
20:51 gmcharlt    slef: I think a custom field might be better - sponsorship status can be orthognal to priority
20:51 schuster    Some sponsorships have been paid, but we may not see the coding until next summer...
20:50 schuster    for those of us that don't code - but want to see what others have "paid for" already Sponsored makes more sense...
20:49 schuster    wizzyrea +++
20:49 slef        schuster: I suspect something like PATCH-Sent but Sponsored might be better
20:49 wizzyrea    enhancement/bug*
20:49 wizzyrea    yea, and if you have something very lengthy, like a rfc to post, *that* should go on the wiki, and be referenced in the bug
20:49 schuster    Can we add a category that says "sponsored" similar to enhancement so people can enter the items they have already sponsored?
20:49 slef        hello - bugzilla docs are back online - thanks to $WHOEVER
20:48 gmcharlt    schuster: agreed
20:48 schuster    Cool - I still think an example/template so people know what type of information needs to be added when they create the enhancement.
20:48 gmcharlt    schuster: anybody can identify and merge duplicate bugs
20:48 gmcharlt    schuster: yeah, you could, but since it's cheap to create, merge, and close bugs in bugzilla, it's no problem
20:48 Brooke       /agree
20:48 schuster    wizzyrea - ++ - I believe then someone gmcharlt? merges/links?
20:47 chris       imho its better to have a duplicate than fear of a duplicate stopping anything being posted at all
20:47 slef        Brooke: at times you need rhino hide *rolls eyes*
20:47 schuster    If people are concerned about adding an enhancement they might post to discuss first to see if anyone already knows about an enhancement etc that does X
20:47 Brooke      thicker skin?
20:46 wizzyrea    hehe, my experience is that if you miss a duplicate, it won't take long for someone else to point it out
20:46 gmcharlt    just look for duplicates, then add the idea
20:46 slef        added section below http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=bugreportingfornewbies#determine_if_you_have_a_new_bug mentioning CC
20:46 gmcharlt    and there's no reason to over formalize posting an idea to bugs.koha.org
20:46 schuster    Again keeping all the discussion for the developer in one place once it does get sponsored.
20:45 chris       there is a good page on the wiki about it
20:45 davi        ok
20:45 wizzyrea    gmcharlt and schuster+++++
20:45 chris       to patches@koha.org .. that way lots of eyes get to see them
20:45 davi        chris, ok
20:45 chris       patches all the way davi
20:45 schuster    skushner - I don't want another list personally - you could enter the enhancement - and publish the # to discuss and people could login to bugzilla and comment etc...
20:45 gmcharlt    skushner: actually, it would be better to use bugzilla for the discussions - it doesn't have a threaded comments, but it does have comments
20:44 davi        gmcharlt, Yes, that can be an start.  What is the process to fix a bug. Should I send a patch to the mailing list or will you allow me to directly commit to the Git repository?
20:44 thd         davi: MARC 21 is a more comprehensive larger format but not necessarily better for being based on US MARC the first way of doing MARC
20:44 skushner    What about a threaded forum to discuss enhancements/bugs amongst the user groups to facilitate the conversation..."Like, I'm thinking of sponsoring X"..before it gets "comitted" to Bugzilla, or wherever?
20:43 schuster    Group to review existing enhancements to determine if they have been coded or no longer of interest by individual creating the enhancement.
20:43 davi        thd, thanks for the information
20:43 davi        gmcharlt,  looking at it
20:43 cait        there is some interest in Koha in Germany atm - but translation list was silent in the last weeks
20:42 thd         davi: In the world of US imperialist influence MARC 21 is more used
20:42 schuster    Template for entering wishlist enhancements - tag
20:42 gmcharlt    davi: is http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2616 the sort of bug you're looking for?
20:42 schuster    So I see three things that need to happen - group to create a "template" for entering sponsored enhancements - tag?
20:42 davi        thd, Is the MARC21 more used in Brazil than the UNIMARC format?
20:41 davi        hdl_laptop1, ah, I did not know
20:41 gmcharlt    slef: didn't you get the memo - the official language will be Klingon
20:41 hdl_laptop1 thd davi : brasil is MARC21, portugal UNIMARC.
20:41 schuster    gmcharlt - I agree.
20:41 slef        chris: official language of Koha will be Spanish. I'm learning it.
20:40 davi        chris, no comment :)
20:40 chris       davi: cultural imperialist :-)
20:40 gmcharlt    but I think simply promoting its use will go a long way
20:40 wizzyrea    slef++
20:40 hdl_laptop1 but some german speaking ppl are testing koha atm
20:40 slef        gmcharlt: could redirect todo.koha.org to a search for enhancements
20:40 gmcharlt    sure
20:40 davi        thd, I think the Brazilian and Portuguese list should be the same due to the language differences are minimal
20:40 gmcharlt    but if it needs a different name to encourage people to think of it as more than just a defects database
20:40 hdl_laptop1 slef: yes quite idle
20:40 gmcharlt    wizzyrea: it would break a lot of links to *move* bugs.koha.org to another domain
20:39 chris       both
20:39 thd         hdl_laptop1 chris: Brazilian and Portuguese have different email lists or merely different translations?
20:39 gmcharlt    but perhaps emphasize CCing
20:39 slef        hdl_laptop1: where is the german list now? http://listes.koha-fr.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-i18n-german seems idle
20:39 hdl_laptop1 schuster: yes.
20:39 hdl_laptop1 they asked for it.
20:38 skushner    If it was put in one place, everyone would know to look there. Pls. no more email lists.
20:38 wizzyrea    maybe the bugs.koha.org name is the problem, it needs branding... like, todo.koha.org or something
20:38 hdl_laptop1 thd: yes.
20:38 chris       yes thd
20:38 schuster    There's a translator list correct?
20:38 gmcharlt    I think should last for six months
20:38 thd         hdl_laptop1: Is the Brazilian list different from the Portuguese list?
20:38 gmcharlt    since it generally takes a few months for a group of disparate libraries to organize a cosponsorship arrangment
20:38 slef        hdl_laptop1: until we get something more formal, ask chris for active translators perhaps?
20:38 schuster    hdl_lpatop1 - yes it would
20:38 gmcharlt    re timeline for experiment
20:37 schuster    Just looking for clarification.
20:37 hdl_laptop1 maybe it could be good to spread also news to those ppl.
20:37 gmcharlt    schuster: it would be both
20:37 schuster    Are we voting on BUGS or Enhancements or both?
20:37 hdl_laptop1 there is now brasilian, portuguese, german and french speaking list.
20:36 gmcharlt    it ultimately depends on whether somebody actually does something with the top vote-getting bugs
20:36 wizzyrea    yea, I can see an email to the list saying "i've proposed X enhancement, bugs.koha.org bug #XXXX, please check it out
20:36 Sharon      I like the CC option because it gives funders contact information for other potential funders
20:36 gmcharlt    re voting in particular
20:36 hdl_laptop1 schuster++
20:35 gmcharlt    and more importantly, a communication place for ensuring that requests get funding or done
20:35 schuster    Posting info to the koha-discuss/dev etc... for volunteers etc...
20:35 gmcharlt    well, success ultimately is going to be determined by whether users see bugzilla as the place to go to for dev requests
20:35 slef        Barca scored!
20:35 schuster    At Koha con there were 264 "enhancements" as I remember - I was working on a proposal to get a committee together to "review" them.
20:35 slef        we've a similar "RT for software.coop" but we'll refer to bugs.koha.org as appropriate
20:35 richard     morning
20:34 hdl_laptop1 kohala has no public bug tracker.
20:34 slef        gmcharlt: ok to experiment, but define "success" and end-of-trial before we start
20:34 hdl_laptop1 but it is only biblibre at the moment.
20:34 hdl_laptop1 suivi.biblibre.com
20:34 gmcharlt    if so we need to make sure that it's linked to from the wiki and other places more or less as prominently as bugs.khoa.org
20:34 jwagner     Along the lines of the earlier discussion about monthly emails with useful info, can the intro page to bugzilla have some general info for new users?  Like how to report bugs, use the cc feature, etc.?
20:33 gmcharlt    as far as the kohala bugs database is concerned, I assume it has a public URL, hdl_laptop1?
20:33 davi        gmcharlt, I would like be assigned a bug to fix. An easy one
20:33 gmcharlt    bug voting we could do as an experiment
20:32 gmcharlt    encouraging people to use CC lists is a good regardless of anything else
20:32 davi        slef, anyway the hosting and users data will follow controlled by them
20:32 wizzyrea    (just let it go... bad idea, I get it)
20:32 slef        davi: they say they'll publish some of it eventually.  But that's an aside.
20:32 gmcharlt    as is going over documenation (on wiki) for filing bugs and improving it
20:31 slef        so bugs get reported there which will never get fixed.
20:31 gmcharlt    "cleaning up" bugzilla is fine
20:31 gmcharlt    as far as specific action items go
20:31 slef        wizzyrea: in case you didn't know, launchpad.net creates bug trackers for things which are maintained by other people who don't want to use it.
20:31 wizzyrea    (I just like the nub friendly interface)
20:31 wizzyrea    fair enough
20:30 davi        wizzyrea, launchpad.net is controlled by Canonical. And they refuse to publish the source code. They want to control the system
20:29 slef        gmcharlt: thanks
20:29 slef        wizzyrea: I really dislike launchpad.net on both usability and philosophy angles.
20:29 gmcharlt    slef: http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/ has voting enabled
20:29 reed        missed part of the conversation but -- bugzilla is always going to go daunting to new users however you skin it
20:29 wizzyrea    actually, launchpad.net is a really nice bugtracker
20:29 chris       local groups could talk amongst themselves, then file an enhancement on bugs.koha.org
20:28 hdl_laptop1 schuster++
20:28 schuster    If we put a concerted effort into "cleanup" bugzilla and a "template" of how to create an enhancement - that would at least give users new and old an opportunity to see what is under development or consideration.
20:27 slef        Sharon: Il n'y aucun. ;)
20:27 slef        thd: oic
20:27 Sharon      Paul brought up the language issue a kohacon
20:27 thd         slef: I merely meant that users need to know that is the way to express interest where it may not be obvious to them
20:27 hdl_laptop1 imho
20:27 hdl_laptop1 But bugs.koha.org is a good starting point.
20:27 skushner    So..sync the servers worldwide, but have regional groups too, like Kudos Northeast, etc..
20:26 hdl_laptop1 But it would also be the problem with bugs.koha.org
20:26 chris       wizzyrea++
20:26 hdl_laptop1 And maybe interest is wider than your language community
20:26 wizzyrea    rather than an additional place for everyone to check
20:26 gmcharlt    skushner: I thnk the users groups are a valid forum for sponsorship arrangements, but one of many
20:25 wizzyrea    I think it's definitely better to have the payers (libraries using koha) and the payees (developers making koha) looking at the same database of bugs and enhancement requests
20:25 slef        mick_laptop: whatever's on bugs.koha.org ;-)
20:25 mick_laptop the newer versions have gotten a lot nicer
20:25 jwagner     Another problem with using KUDOS is that it's US/North America, but development needs to be coordinated worldwide.
20:25 hdl_laptop1 skushner: because you have many localized user groups
20:25 mick_laptop what version of bz are you complaining about?
20:25 schuster    Voting I think comes later in the game - when there might be a user group with money to sponsor development projects.
20:25 slef        jwagner: I'm not a fan of bugzilla's user interface, but I'm equally not a fan of changing bug tracker :-/
20:25 atz         skushner: kudos group isn't incorporated yet, among other things
20:24 slef        Can someone tell me a bugzilla with voting enabled, please?  I'm not seeing it on bugzilla.mozilla.org
20:24 skushner    Why not through Kudos, and other interest groups to share development ideas and commitments?
20:24 jwagner     I lost track of how many times I visited bugzilla before I even NOTICED the cc function.  Maybe I'm blind as a bat, but usability is an issue here.
20:23 schuster    yes you did, but was waiting for after KohaCon to see what happens
20:23 slef        thd: what else would adding yourself to the CC on a bug show apart from interest?
20:23 gmcharlt    a bugzilla tag could be useful
20:23 gmcharlt    and for something where somebody is actively looking for cosponsors
20:23 thd         slef: a CC might show that if there were clear and obvious instructions that CC should be used for that purpose
20:23 slef        Sharon: we (software.coop) support gnuherds.org which I think I mentioned to schuster
20:23 gmcharlt    I've no problem using a CC instead of bug voting as such, but I think users woudl still want a report of bugs ordered by number of CCs
20:22 hdl_laptop1 mmm... but then maybe only the higher interest bugs would be coped with by big companies and the other ones could be left alone.
20:22 Sharon      I 2nd Schuster, we need a way to facilitate co-sponsorships
20:22 sekjal      I got the impression at KohaCon that there is some concern about users and developers drifting apart
20:22 atz         slef: indeed, wizzyrea recommended that option
20:22 schuster    Many users were unaware of bugzilla for enhancements.
20:21 slef        atz: doesn't a cc show that?
20:21 schuster    Squeaky wheel also provides people to figure out who might have money to co sponsor...
20:21 mdhafen     yeah, level of interest in a feature can be a big motivator for a developer (myself included)
20:20 atz         slef: KohaCon users were unaware of each others' interests in given bugs, fixes, etc.
20:20 gmcharlt    obviously to actual get a change done, ultimately somebody has to pony up effort, time, or money
20:20 chris       squeaky wheel does actually have merit in a lot of cases
20:20 gmcharlt    more of a mechanism for interested users to find out what each other cares about
20:19 slef        Why bug voting?  Squeaky wheel syndrome and rule of the mob?
20:19 gmcharlt    in addition to use of wiki for RFCs
20:18 gmcharlt    in conjunction with developers and vendors putting in an effort to put significant features as enhancement bugs
20:18 gmcharlt    or establshing consitent tagging
20:18 gmcharlt    turning bug voting
20:17 gmcharlt    so specific ideas re using bugs database for that purpose include
20:16 mdhafen     thd: both suggestions are applicable here.  hdl seems willing to resolve merge conficts.
20:16 gmcharlt    thd: patches should be against HEAD unless something is truly 3.0.x specific, or if a particular file(s) have diverged enough that you need a patch for HEAD and a patch for 3.0.x
20:16 gmcharlt    is that bugzilla is probably a better place to try first
20:16 thd         atz hdl_laptop1: mdhafen suggests sending 3.0.x patches against 3.0.x as [3.0.x].  atz: suggests sending almost all patches against HEAD only unless they cannot be.
20:16 gmcharlt    but general agreement during that KohaCon meeting
20:15 gmcharlt    initial suggestion was to use a Google spreadsheet or the like
20:15 gmcharlt    particularly for big projects
20:15 gmcharlt    can coordinate arrangement funding or person-time to do it
20:15 gmcharlt    is desire to have a process whereby people interested in an enhnacement
20:15 gmcharlt    but big point among many Koha users
20:15 gmcharlt    schuster can speak to this better
20:14 gmcharlt    http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09apr07
20:14 gmcharlt    a very brief summary of the big proposals from KohaCon is on the wiki
20:14 slef        go for it
20:14 gmcharlt    anyway, I think we're ambling towards the bugzilla topic of the agenda
20:13 gmcharlt    bracket for "[3.0.x]" is fine, as it's redundant once patch is applied
20:13 hdl_laptop1 I saw that it should rather be () and not []
20:13 slef        yikes
20:13 gmcharlt    slef: "bug 1234" or "bug1234" or whatever is better than "[bug 1234]" - git-am strips anything in brackets in subject line when patch is applied
20:13 hdl_laptop1 is brackets the correct tag.
20:13 slef        (and also remembered that section of the page myself - sorry for recent ignorance of it)
20:12 slef        I've updated http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:codingguidelines#good_commit_message with the branch-tagging idea
20:12 chris       ack attacked by a 2year old with a soccer ball, brb
20:12 slef        ok, end of digression for now ;)
20:11 gmcharlt    if not, may be issue with dokuwiki's openid plugin
20:11 gmcharlt    slef: seems accurate - let me know if the increased timeout has an effect
20:10 slef        gmcharlt: thanks. if you're still logged in, is it's clock accurate? Didn't feel like 15mins
20:10 hdl_laptop1 and i think it could be a good practise.
20:10 hdl_laptop1 Some LLers and chris did publicize their branches.
20:10 thd         atz hdl_laptop1: I have a contradictory messages
20:09 hdl_laptop1 I think that we underestimate the goodness of topic branches
20:09 gmcharlt    slef: increased timeout from 900 to 3600 seconds
20:09 atz         (exceptional circumstances notwithstanding)
20:08 atz         thd: hdl_laptop1 described why your changes should go to HEAD first
20:08 hdl_laptop1 thd : then I think that mdhafen's suggestion sould be used.
20:08 thd         atz: hdl_laptop1 described the issue well as they diverge
20:08 chris       if its not relevant to a future release, then the case is moot, it doesnt need to be on HEAD
20:08 slef        aside - can someone (gmcharlt?) lengthen the login time on wiki.koha.org please?  I seem to be booted out rather too easily.
20:07 thd         atz: not at this point but there have been reasons in the past why one would have two different patches or why a patch would only be relevant to stable but not to a future development release
20:07 mdhafen     for example the aqui rewrite
20:06 hdl_laptop1 the fact is that the more HEAD and 3.0.x diverge, the harder it will be to guarantee that your patch will be preserved from one version to another.
20:06 atz         thd: is there a reason they shouldn't be in HEAD?
20:05 thd         hdl_laptop1: If I add patches against the 3.0.x branch will you have those changes or are you only taking from HEAD?
20:04 mdhafen     if there is a patch that applies only to 3.0.x (unlikely) sending them to the patches list should be ok still.  Just make sure to include [3.0.x] in the heading
20:04 hdl_laptop1 koha-maintenance will be out there only for testing purpose.
20:04 hdl_laptop1 3.0.x will still be the official maintenance branch.
20:04 atz         thd: cherry picking means taking from patches submitted at HEAD and applying them to 3.0.x
20:03 thd         slef: I was wondering about the c
20:03 hdl_laptop1 sorry ?
20:03 slef        thd: clarification: 3.0.x.c is only in our co-op's repo (which is what the c is for)
20:02 thd         hdl_laptop1: does only cherry picking mean that you have not or do not intend to add from the 3.0.x or 3.0,x,c branches on the main repository?
20:02 slef        I'll ask about that under the next item.
20:02 hdl_laptop1 so that the patch is attached to the bug.
20:02 hdl_laptop1 Now that bugzilla can accept emails, should be prety easy to send patches to it.
20:02 hdl_laptop1 and then headline of the bug.
20:02 slef        ok
20:01 hdl_laptop1 (1st line)
20:01 slef        2287 being the first
20:01 slef        from memory, it's mostly new features... I'm trying to get any bugfixes out first
20:01 hdl_laptop1 And But post bug # on it.
20:00 hdl_laptop1 So I would say please send on HEAD.
20:00 gmcharlt    agree with hdl_laptop1
20:00 hdl_laptop1 all i did was cherry picking.
20:00 gmcharlt    nom nom nom
19:59 slef        hdl_laptop1: as you probably know, we've a 3.0.x.c branch.  Do you want me to submit patches against 3.0.x or concentrate on sending to HEAD and letting you cherry-pick?
19:59 gmcharlt    positively euphonious
19:59 hdl_laptop1 does that sound sound gmcharlt ?
19:59 chris       cool
19:59 chris       (reed works with me)
19:59 hdl_laptop1 and then 3.2
19:58 chris       cya in a bit reed
19:57 hdl_laptop1 Then it would be time for reconciliation and 3.0.3
19:57 hdl_laptop1 But feature and bug tracking freeze for 3.0.2 should be done in the next two weeks.
19:56 chris       but always good to give them time
19:56 chris       (translation wise)
19:56 chris       i dont think there will be many changes, so it shouldn't take too long
19:55 hdl_laptop1 I said June because translators should have some time to do translations.
19:55 hdl_laptop1 maybe 3.0.3 could be quite near after 3.0.2
19:54 chris       right
19:54 hdl_laptop1 acquisitions, item management and so on.
19:54 gmcharlt    yep
19:54 hdl_laptop1 before tough job for 3.2 is merged on HEAD.
19:53 hdl_laptop1 I think it is urgent to release 3.0.2 and reconciliation branch
19:53 slef        gmcharlt: I was just thinking that.  If 3.0.2 is June.
19:53 chris       :)
19:53 gmcharlt    up to hdl_laptop1 , of course :)
19:53 gmcharlt    the calendar permits a 3.0.3
19:52 chris       3.0.2 should be the last 3.0.x release eh? barring a super bad bug that means an urgent 3.0.3 release eh
19:52 schuster    Schuster - sitting in corner listening...
19:51 gmcharlt    and ensuring a clean database & feature upgrade path from 3.0.x to 3.2
19:51 hdl_laptop1 and test.
19:51 gmcharlt    slef: git merging
19:51 slef        hdl_laptop1: reconciliation as in library reconciliation or git merging?
19:51 hdl_laptop1 that gmcharlt and I will set up.
19:50 hdl_laptop1 But then will come reconciliation branch.
19:50 gmcharlt    another other 3.0.2/3.0.x stuff?
19:50 gmcharlt    ok
19:50 hdl_laptop1 So I won't be able to release it before june.
19:50 gmcharlt    i.e., who are you and what's your public key (for gitosis to control who gets to push to that particular repo)
19:50 slef        sorry, this is a tangent... can we wiki it later?
19:49 gmcharlt    first step would be pretty manual
19:49 hdl_laptop1 as soon as I have posted the branch, i will send an email for testers.
19:49 gmcharlt    slef: sure
19:49 slef        or "private" repos or whatever you want to call them
19:48 slef        Can we semi-automate git.koha.org branches?  At least get the requests to its maintainers in a ready-to-use form.
19:48 hdl_laptop1 chris: I wall.
19:47 chris       hdl_laptop1: cool, just say the word whenever you think it's ready
19:47 hdl_laptop1 But I prefer to test updating french strings first to tell you.
19:47 slef        Aside to new joiners - I've added a "Read the meeting so far..." link to the start of http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09apr07
19:46 hdl_laptop1 In fact, i hope it should already be freezed.
19:46 chris       excellent, let me know when you think its good to go, and i will regen and msgmerge the .po files and let all the translators know
19:46 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1: ok
19:46 hdl_laptop1 I think I am really close to that.
19:45 hdl_laptop1 koha-maintenance.git
19:45 chris       hdl_laptop1: how far away do you think a string freeze is?
19:45 gmcharlt    and I'll init it and set up gitosis so that you can push to it
19:45 gmcharlt    let me know what you want it called
19:45 gmcharlt    ok
19:44 hdl_laptop1 fine for me.
19:44 hdl_laptop1 so you would create a new git repo on git.koha.org and I would push on it then ?
19:43 gmcharlt    e.g., push to a new koha-hdl.git or git-biblibre.git hosted on git.koha.org
19:43 hdl_laptop1 link via git.koha.org ?
19:43 hdl_laptop1 can you explain ?
19:43 mdhafen     yeah, make a private key on git.koha.org, and do regular pulls from there on a separate branch
19:43 gmcharlt    or better, link via git.koha.org
19:43 mdhafen     or there's the git-daemon option
19:42 chris       you could push it to repo.or.cz .. or github etc if you wanted to let people clone it without needing a key
19:42 hdl_laptop1 with read access.
19:42 hdl_laptop1 mmm... I can create a new project that would contain that branch only.
19:41 hdl_laptop1 right now i thik so.
19:41 mdhafen     though some say passing around a private key is evil, you could setup a gitosis key with read access, and pass around that private key.  I think that would work at least.
19:40 gmcharlt    are ssh keys need to just fetch from it?
19:40 hdl_laptop1 at the moment, it is on a biblibre gitosis, which could be open with ssh keys.
19:39 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1: is the branch in a publicly available git repo? if so, URL could be added, or git.koha.org could fetch a clone periodically
19:38 hdl_laptop1 And nicolas and laurence will certainly help me.
19:38 hdl_laptop1 I have not pushed them because I want the branch to be tested.
19:38 chris       i can help with testing
19:38 hdl_laptop1 But I think that I am getting something quite interesting now.
19:37 hdl_laptop1 holds and branchtransfer limits, and syndetics and LT stuff mainly
19:37 hdl_laptop1 187 are still apppart :
19:37 chris       ahhh
19:37 hdl_laptop1 i have already applied all those 260  commits.
19:36 chris       do you need some help with that?
19:36 hdl_laptop1 and a branch that one could want to test.
19:36 chris       yoicks
19:36 hdl_laptop1 I have at the moment 260 commits on my queue.
19:36 hdl_laptop1 trying to cherry-pick HEAD commits on 3.0.x
19:35 hdl_laptop1 I am late, but I have been quite busy
19:34 hdl_laptop1 so.
19:34 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1: ready to give a 3.0.x update?
19:33 gmcharlt    jwagner: agreed
19:33 jwagner     I'd also suggest adding to the welcome/monthly message links to such things as the online manual site, bugzilla, the wiki -- whatever someone new would find most helpful.
19:33 gmcharlt    sure
19:33 jwagner     One more point on the welcome message?
19:32 gmcharlt    shall we move on to 3.0.x (don't worry, we can have general discussion after we go through the formal agenda items)
19:32 gmcharlt    ok
19:31 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1++
19:31 hdl_laptop1 adding a link to that page could be nice ;)
19:31 wizzyrea    a "Search the Archives: <link> would suffice I think
19:31 gmcharlt    yeah, I was thinking of combining the currently first two lines, adding a line for a link to a search archive, ending up with no net changes in the number of lines in the footer
19:30 slef        gmcharlt: careful not to make footer too long
19:30 chris       good idea _eric_b ... quick write it on the wiki :)
19:30 gmcharlt    we could also change the footer that the mailing list adds
19:29 _eric_b     hdl: agree
19:29 hdl_laptop1 nabble
19:29 thd         my horse is thirsty
19:29 hdl_laptop1 k for me.
19:29 _eric_b     I suggest to place in the email how to search the archived mails... :)
19:29 gmcharlt    we can only lead our horses to the water
19:28 chris       thats why monthly reminders are good :)
19:28 hdl_laptop1 except that usually ppl only read the 1st message then throw it to dustbin ;)
19:28 sekjal      sounds like a good plan
19:28 brendan     ++
19:28 brendan     no objection here --
19:28 slef        no, especially if it is combined with the "mailman day" emails
19:28 gmcharlt    in addition to having the text be part of the welcome message?
19:27 gmcharlt    does anybody have a serious objection to sending this message out monthly?
19:27 gmcharlt    of course, anybody is free to proposed ideas or wording on the wiki page
19:27 gmcharlt    I'll let nengard know about the welcome message
19:26 hdl_laptop1 i was wondering when this text should be updated in mailman.
19:26 thd         yes: I realised that hdl_laptop1 was not advancing the agenda as soon as I pressed enter
19:26 chris       i like the no new database tables or columns rule too
19:26 IrmaCalyx   G'day all
19:26 chris       good morning IrmaCalyx, kudos for being awake at 5.30am
19:26 gmcharlt    about the context
19:26 gmcharlt    but hdl_laptop1 is right
19:26 hdl_laptop1 gmcharlt: ++
19:25 gmcharlt    thd: except to fix blockers
19:25 gmcharlt    thd: my preference is that a feature freeze means no new database tables or columns
19:25 hdl_laptop1 thd: it is not about koha feature ;)
19:25 thd         gmcharlt: In the past, there has been some confusion about what a feature freeze should mean.  Some have thought no new database columns while others have thought that adding columns could not possibly break anything.
19:24 gmcharlt    I suppose when she says so and has given people a chance to look at it
19:24 gmcharlt    assuming nengard has time and is willing to do the first draft
19:24 hdl_laptop1 but when should it called freezed version then ?
19:24 gmcharlt    http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=koha_list_welcome
19:23 hdl_laptop1 mmm....could be.
19:23 chris       i guess it could be written up in draft on the wiki then let people make some edits
19:21 hdl_laptop1 and will have it translated.
19:21 hdl_laptop1 i just need the text.
19:21 hdl_laptop1 or initial email.
19:20 chris       ahh good idea too slef, make the initial email better too
19:20 hdl_laptop1 gm i can help with list manager monhtly email
19:20 chris       apostrophe fail, need more coffee
19:20 slef        ISTR koha list welcome emails are the Mailman boilerplate
19:19 chris       yeah if she isnt here, she gets it ... them's the rules
19:19 slef        is that best, or making sure the welcome email is as good as it can be?
19:19 chris       :)
19:19 gmcharlt    I'm inclined to call something like that documentation and fob it off to nengard ;)
19:19 gmcharlt    somethign like that
19:19 chris       like the first of the month email losts of lists do?
19:19 gmcharlt    how to ask questions, etc.
19:18 gmcharlt    i.e., here's where to find Koha doc
19:18 gmcharlt    is somebody at KohaCon suggested a monthly (or whatever) project FAQ email
19:18 slef        can help with plugins offlist
19:18 gmcharlt    the other thing re periodic email
19:17 chris       that sounds like a good idea
19:17 slef        ok but suggest feedwordpress plugin
19:17 wizzyrea    def are with WP
19:17 reed        i'm thinking there may be some automated blog to email services around
19:17 gmcharlt    if I do it as blog off of koha.org, my inclination is to give accounts to anybody who was an RM or RMaint for any version of Koha
19:17 pianohacker I think there are rss-to-email gateways that would automate it for you
19:16 wizzyrea    I like that, always accessible and archived and not in my inbox
19:16 gmcharlt    or both
19:16 chris       or both?
19:16 gmcharlt    I don't have any personal preference whether it is a blog or e-mail newsletter
19:16 gmcharlt    or possibly do it as rm.blog.koha.org
19:16 chris       cool
19:15 gmcharlt    "stuff new in tip" or the like
19:15 gmcharlt    I'm going to revive a weekly RM newsletter
19:15 gmcharlt    other 3.2 stuff not related to code as such
19:15 slef        lenny or later at least
19:15 chris       yay!
19:14 slef        thd: should be doable
19:14 thd         slef: what about debs for backports?
19:14 slef        gmcharlt: probably
19:14 gmcharlt    slef: you're doing the deb for 3.0.x as well, right?
19:14 cait        Katrin Fischer here
19:14 slef        chris: pretty good I think
19:13 gmcharlt    and experimental ORM (DBIx::Class, most likely)
19:13 chris       slef: what do you reckon the chances of having .debs for 3.2 are ? is that something we can aim for too?
19:13 gmcharlt    and some investigation of Template Toolkit
19:13 gmcharlt    chris and beppu et al memcached experimentation
19:12 gmcharlt    pianohacker's JSON work
19:12 gmcharlt    and metnioned during KohaCon or before
19:12 gmcharlt    as a result of things people want to play around with
19:12 gmcharlt    some experimental branches are in order
19:12 gmcharlt    and we'll be posting about that as part of the ramp-up to June
19:11 gmcharlt    about what we've been up to development-wise
19:11 gmcharlt    we have a large backlog of stuff to communicate
19:11 gmcharlt    from my and LL's point of view
19:11 gmcharlt    the acq module should be in the June tarball
19:11 gmcharlt    so unless something goes seriously awry
19:10 gmcharlt    prior to merging into main
19:10 gmcharlt    for a couple weeks of integration
19:10 gmcharlt    they'll be put on a topic branch in the public repo
19:10 gmcharlt    ready
19:10 gmcharlt    so once he has the patches read
19:10 gmcharlt    paul's recently got his acq stuff ported to head
19:10 gmcharlt    and at least one intermediate between then and August
19:09 gmcharlt    just to run through the packaing process
19:09 gmcharlt    I will do a pre-pre-alpha release some time in June
19:09 gmcharlt    anything new will be relegated to the future branch
19:09 chris       works for me
19:09 gmcharlt    will be it
19:09 gmcharlt    i.e., what we have by end of August in terms of features and major archictrual changes
19:08 gmcharlt    3.2 is going to be calendar driven by that point
19:08 gmcharlt    as far as anything past the end of summer goes
19:08 gmcharlt    putting release by end of October
19:08 gmcharlt    allow two months for bugfixes, stabliization, and 3.2 translation
19:08 wizzyrea    Liz Rea NEKLS here
19:07 gmcharlt    start a 3.4/future at that point in time
19:07 gmcharlt    so my intention is to declare a feature freeze for 3.2 by end of August
19:07 gmcharlt    holdings & circ work by LL
19:07 gmcharlt    BibLibre's acq developments
19:06 gmcharlt    there are several large bits of integration to do over the summer
19:06 gmcharlt    so starting with the 3.2 update
19:06 gmcharlt    4. KohaCon 2009 report
19:06 gmcharlt    3. Koha bugs database
19:06 gmcharlt    2. Koha 3.0.x status
19:05 gmcharlt    1/ Koha 3.2/tip status and timeline
19:05 gmcharlt    so for agenda, we have four points
19:05 gmcharlt    ok - thanks - any latecomers should  feel free to chime in for rollcall at any point
19:05 dbirmingham David Birmingham in the room
19:05 ruth        Ruth Vargas here
19:04 meliss      Melissa Lefebvre here

19:03 _eric_b     Eric Begin here
19:03 mdhafen     here
19:03 slef        thd: 1 year 9 months thereabouts
19:02 chris       hi reed, we are just doing roll call
19:02 thd         Thomas Dukleth here
19:02 gmcharlt    thd: unspecific unit, but too long
19:01 thd         gmcharlt: how long is a yonk?
19:01 Colin       Colin Campbell here
19:01 danny       Danny Bouman here
19:01 brendan     Brendan Gallagher here
19:01 jwagner     Jane Wagner here
19:01 sekjal      sure.  Ian Walls, NYU Health Science Libraries
19:01 slef        MJ Ray here
19:01 chris       chris cormack here
19:00 gmcharlt    shall we start with a quick roll call of whoever's in channel and participating/listening?
19:00 gmcharlt    thanks to slef for starting the wiki page
19:00 gmcharlt    agenda and meeting notes: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09apr07
18:59 gmcharlt    first general Koha IRC meeting in yonks
18:59 gmcharlt    greetings all
18:59 chris       heh
18:59 slef        chris: newbie
18:59 gmcharlt    and on that note, let's start the meeting
18:59 chris       oh wow that was just my 800th blog post
18:44 chris       *nod*
18:43 brendan     it started up on a hiking trail, so I guess you could draw your own conclusions
18:42 brendan     that I've heard of
18:42 brendan     still no known cause
18:42 chris       do they know what started it?
18:42 chris       heres hoping they get it under control before any are lost
18:41 brendan     s/buildings/
18:41 brendan     the fire is close to builds though...  so far none have been lost, but it's close
18:40 brendan     the wind has died down... so some what under control.  They had helicopters dumping water on the flames all night
18:40 chris       fires under control brendan ?
18:39 brendan     morning chris
18:39 gmcharlt    howdy chris
18:39 pianohacker mornin'
18:38 chris       morning
18:25 gmcharlt    schuster: the syspref is called opaclanguages
18:24 schuster    thanks - still working to find the language issue - I saw a reference to syspref's, but nothing with language or opaclanguage on any of those pages.
18:14 gmcharlt    remove it, most likely
18:13 schuster    OK thanks - just trying to plan how to implement serials and what I need to do.  In the upgrade from 3.0 to 3.2 then it will "remove" the item information from the bib or just leave it?
18:11 gmcharlt    that will basically solve the performance problem
18:11 gmcharlt    the idea for 3.2 is to speed it up by not embedding items in in the MARC bib record (except when you need to export a MARC bib or index it)
18:09 schuster    When you checkout it REALLY slows down currently in 3.0.  Should we make seperate Bibs for each location or will this be handled differently with 3.2?
18:09 schuster    Question about speeding up Circ as well.  Currently say Time magazine - you get 52 a year(weekly) but if we have 10 schools that get it you have over 520 items attached to it.
18:07 schuster    So you see the first page, but can't see the second but only in IE.
18:07 schuster    Is that "under the hood" or is there a system preference someplace that I am missing?  What I am seeing is that with languages on in the PAC - with IE you can't see the 1, 2, 3 etc... for more display titles.
18:04 gmcharlt    I recently did a patch to remove the language chooser if only one OPAC (or staff) language is selected
18:03 gmcharlt    via opaclanguages
18:03 schuster    Is there an easy way to turn off the language preferences in pac?  I can't seem to locate that.
17:55 atz         yeah... catch22 there
17:54 brendan     kind of pointless IMHO
17:54 brendan     they will insure you only if you are allowed back in the build.  but if the build is commended then you don't get insurance
17:53 brendan     All of the insurance companies have really weird rules
17:53 atz         yeah, how do you shop for that?
17:53 brendan     the fire insurance is the easy part...  the most difficult is coming up with good earthquake insurance
17:52 atz         and pay your insurance
17:52 brendan     yeah atz, I guess time to get used to living in Socal.
17:50 atz         crazy
17:47 brendan     had a few friends evacuated and crashing at my house
17:47 brendan     interesting night last night - with the brush fires in Santa Barbara (where I live) getting big
17:46 brendan     good morning #koha
17:27 Sharon      we'll have to share our tests later - when you cancel a reserve, it reprioritizes the holds list unfairly.
17:26 pianohacker I consider the fact that you got that much useful information out of Circulation.pm valiant and admirable (I've had some memorable battles with that module)
17:25 slef        hope I gave enough info to suggest where to look for similar questions if no-one is alive here ;)
17:24 slef        np
17:24 Sharon      thanks for the explanation
17:24 slef        ok, off to cook
17:24 slef        (being silly)
17:24 slef        (I know the reasons for not letting everyone edit, really)
17:24 Sharon      i'm not smart 'nuf for that template changing
17:23 slef        don't they give you a text editor? ;-)
17:23 Sharon      or we'll just comment out the cancelreserve function
17:23 Sharon      cool, I'll ask Liz to do that for us.
17:23 slef        the checkbox is actually named cancelreserve
17:22 slef        edit en/modules/circulation.tmpl to put a label by it
17:21 slef        (I've not checked that the code matches perldoc C4/Circulation.pm, though)
17:21 Sharon      yep. we'll have to see if there's a way to add a name after 'cancel reserve' so it's very clear to staff whose reserve is being cancelled
17:20 slef        OK?
17:20 slef        so it cancels everyone else's reserves
17:20 slef
17:20 slef        =item C<$cancelreserve> is 1 to override and cancel any pending reserves for the item (optional).
17:19 slef        AddIssue is in C4::Circulation
17:19 slef        (thinking aloud) actual call is AddIssue( $borrower, $barcode, $datedue, $cancelreserve );
17:18 Sharon      ty. trying to determine if it's useful or dangerous
17:17 slef        looking
17:17 Sharon      circulation.pl
17:17 slef        'cancel reserve' check box on which page?
17:15 Sharon      question - what does the 'cancel reserve' check box do? Who's reserve is canceled?
16:12 Sharon      We need to turn off the images in the OPAC as well as the staff client
16:11 atz         my web connection is choking...
16:05 Sharon      with story time coming up, I can see some Mom's excited about losing the 3 ft slip of receipt paper and just getting an email
16:05 wizzyrea    I'd have to look it up heh
16:04 wizzyrea    or somesuch
16:04 wizzyrea    so like, 30 years average use
16:04 atz         Sharon: yeah, i believe john beppu worked on those
16:04 wizzyrea    isn't the wear cycle of flash memory on the order of 5-10 years continuous use though?
16:04 Sharon      unrelated, we just noticed the new Item Checkout and Item Check in options in the messaging. cool beans
16:03 atz         yeah, since it's not supposed to be disposable
16:03 pianohacker And I image they would use slightly higher-quality flash memory, so it would last longer
16:03 wizzyrea    lol
16:03 wizzyrea    ok ok you win
16:02 atz         USB 2 < ATA < SCSI
16:02 wizzyrea    Bah. You have an answer for everything ;)
16:02 atz         wizzyrea: bandwidth
16:01 wizzyrea    why are SSD's so expensive again?
16:01 wizzyrea    which to me just seems nuts
16:01 wizzyrea    they have 30GB ones now that are around 30 bucks
16:01 pianohacker atz: ... and it's apparently dropped in the months since I got mine, wow
16:00 atz         pianohacker: $30?  try $5
16:00 pianohacker bluetooth++
16:00 pianohacker Four years ago, a device the size of your thumb that can store 2GB of data for about 30 bucks would have seemed insane (it still does, really)
16:00 atz         bluetooth data xfer for the environmentalists
15:59 Sharon      or add their band logo tot he usb and sell it for $5
15:59 pianohacker The way flash memory's going, it'll probably be disposable usb drives
15:58 Sharon      true
15:58 atz         so they can make it to the next town
15:57 atz         the real gap-bridger will be when your average touring band has a mechanism to sell MP3s *for cash* at the end of their shows
15:57 pianohacker Not a G1? :)
15:57 wizzyrea    I'm working on her though. She'd get more benefit from an iPhone I think ;)
15:56 wizzyrea    atz: I have a friend who still only buys CD's just so she can show everyone what a music snob she is. So yes, I agree.
15:56 Sharon      I don't own an ipod yet, I'm still old skool
15:54 atz         CDs are the vinyl of the rather immediate future.
15:54 pianohacker I confess I have never even heard of alt-country
15:53 Sharon      all the music CDs I donated to my library haven't circulated either...nobody likes alt country, I guess.
15:53 wizzyrea    ILL!
15:52 pianohacker Heh. Would be a bit of an abuse of my friendship with the acq people; the HTML book I donated last year still has not been checked out, to my knowledge
15:51 atz         :)
15:51 atz         you work for a library right?
15:50 pianohacker Yeah. It's looking like I'll need a copy of that book if I want to keep developing in this wacky language
15:49 atz         just go for clarity
15:49 atz         pianohacker: mostly whatever perl best practices says
15:48 pianohacker atz: Is there a Koha source convention on using parens for language-core functions ( like split )?
15:47 wizzyrea    I'll go lookk just thought maybe someone might know right off
15:47 wizzyrea    from amazon
15:46 wizzyrea    does anybody know is there a "report this cover art as <insert negative adjective here>" functionality for book covers?
15:43 wizzyrea    iknorite
15:43 atz         heh
15:43 wizzyrea    lol
15:43 wizzyrea    so... try google?
15:43 wizzyrea    but we like that functionality...
15:43 wizzyrea    hm. So. Turning it off fixes it
15:43 Sharon      those stephanie meyer books are just so popular, they test the limits
15:42 pianohacker Sharon: Gah, New Moon seemed to highlight several bugs in our koha too
15:42 atz         valid/invalid HTML, crazy formatting hacks from the 90's, etc.
15:42 atz         not much quality control @amazon apparently... the just let publishers throw whatever code in there that they want
15:41 atz         np, doesn't matter
15:41 wizzyrea    checking, sorry stepped away for a sec
15:40 wizzyrea    atz = epic win
15:40 wizzyrea    it loads now
15:40 wizzyrea    is amazon
15:40 atz         wizzyrea: did you have a chance to check firebug for the content-type?
15:40 Sharon      let's look
15:39 wizzyrea    dk, let me turn it off
15:39 atz         same publisher? (i.e., same amazon content originator)
15:38 Sharon      I have a list of problematic bibs - Max, Twilight, Eclipse, New Moon
15:38 atz         don't know how it would cause the encoding though... if it couldn't process it, you would just get a clean 500 error
15:38 atz         wizzyrea: interesting.
15:37 wizzyrea    and only on high hold items
15:37 wizzyrea    since this just started happening with the last patches
15:37 wizzyrea    2 possibly being more relevant than 1
15:37 wizzyrea    but will try turning off amazn
15:37 wizzyrea    the only thing that is "weird" about this bib is that 1. it has a gazillion items and 2. it has bunches of holds
15:37 atz         please try disabling it.  if the records view fine, then we at least know the culprit.
15:36 Sharon      think we should turn off amazon for awhile?
15:36 wizzyrea    yessir, we are
15:35 Sharon      atz Liz is in the lab with us discussing stuff.  She's on her way back to the office.
15:35 atz         i think ryan found that amazon sends back some insane data for certain items
15:34 atz         wizzyrea: using amazon content?
15:32 atz         a friend of a friend admins for pastebin.... he was saying ppl put *all kinds* of personal/confidential info in there
15:27 atz         source looks normal
15:27 atz         wizzyrea: possible gzip compression error?
15:21 wizzyrea    doesn't look too suspicious to me
15:19 wizzyrea    source
15:19 wizzyrea    http://pastebin.com/d492dd6d4
15:18 wizzyrea    http://www.screencast.com/users/lizrea/folders/Jing/media/0ac91f4c-c223-4b55-9cc3-ebb786ae4f71
15:18 wizzyrea    this one is a little different
15:16 wizzyrea    kk un  moment
15:13 atz         also check headers... see what the content type is
15:13 atz         wizzyrea: can you "view source" and see if it is any different?
15:13 atz         since that is the details page... the first chunk of the HTML, CSS, and JS are all going to be normal and change based on record data
15:12 atz         but that level of browser confusion shouldn't be possible
15:12 atz         wizzyrea: encoding
15:11 jwagner     If you have the biblio number, export it and look at it in MarcEdit?
15:11 wizzyrea    fwiw that's what I thought too. I don't really have a way to fix it though. :(
15:10 wizzyrea    we can look at the marc view :/
15:09 jwagner     A corrupted MARC record?  I've seen similar displays in other systems when the MARC got really screwed.
15:07 wizzyrea    when viewing a normal bib detail in staff
15:07 wizzyrea    can anybody tell me what would cause this: http://www.screencast.com/users/lizrea/folders/Jing/media/42d29d28-5fa6-4ac7-817d-42e944400e90
15:02 wizzyrea    snuggled with a conundrum
15:00 jwagner     It's a riddle wrapped in an enigma?
14:57 wizzyrea    so, jwagner, you can see that we're all in a muddle with holds :P
14:54 wizzyrea    hehe, sorry. it's confusing
14:54 wizzyrea    to be transferred, back on
14:54 atz         "to be transferred, back on"  or "to be transferred back, on"  ?
14:53 wizzyrea    which is (apparently?) a new behavior we're seeing now
14:53 wizzyrea    let me rephrase... koha shouldn't put items that are in the courier bin to be transferred back on the holds queue list
14:52 atz         ?
14:52 atz         so you are just looking to add a status on pick list that indicates "you say you sent this already, but they haven't confirmed yet"
14:51 atz         not sure what you mean.  the message saying effectively "send it back" doesn't have anything to do w/ holds
14:51 atz         same thing as would happen in any case "This item belongs to Branch A.  Initiate Transfer?"
14:51 atz         no, it goes normal
14:51 wizzyrea    in addition to this deal with the queuing of holds going funny when someone cancels a hold
14:50 wizzyrea    which is something we're seeing now
14:50 wizzyrea    (hold queue)
14:50 wizzyrea    right, in a normal circumstance it would say "branch A sent it" until branch B receives it, but it didn't always put items that had been transferred back on the sending branch's pick list
14:49 wizzyrea    atm?
14:49 wizzyrea    if branch b checks it in, and the hold doesn't exist, this process goes fubar?
14:48 atz         wizzyrea: the 1st, i think
14:48 atz         yeah... it's still in a "branch A says they sent it" status until branch B says "we got it"
14:48 wizzyrea    2nd, right?
14:48 wizzyrea    or because the hold that is targetting doesn't exist
14:47 atz         does that make sense?
14:47 wizzyrea    because it hasn't been received
14:46 atz         (triggering pickup notices)
14:46 atz         and because the system won't know it is in the right branch now
14:46 atz         it can't go straight to the shelf because the user might have cancelled the hold during (undetermined time of) the transfer
14:45 wizzyrea    yes, on the shelf
14:45 atz         the workflow is to recieve the item ....
14:45 wizzyrea    oh, right
14:45 atz         no, i mean after transferral
14:45 wizzyrea    to be transferred
14:45 wizzyrea    or in the courier bin
14:45 atz         and then it goes on the hold shelf
14:45 wizzyrea    right, right
14:44 atz         at that checkin, the normal alert "This is on hold for user X" asks for confirmation
14:44 wizzyrea    the reporting library has pretty low human error rate on transferring holds out
14:44 atz         the workflow is to receive the item (checking it in), because who knows, maybe the user cancelled the hold, right?
14:43 atz         yeah, i'm guessing that's what it is.
14:43 wizzyrea    it = koha
14:43 wizzyrea    so it thought it was still at the transferring library
14:43 wizzyrea    probably the item was in the bin but the transfer didn't get registered?
14:42 wizzyrea    but they were definitely transferred out (slips printed as evidence) correctly
14:42 wizzyrea    it probably was in a courier bin
14:41 atz         wizzyrea: did the receiving branch not confirm the hold when they checked in the book?
14:41 jwagner     So it's on the pick list at both branches?  Not likely to be our problem (single branch), but holds are gnarly in general....
14:39 wizzyrea    yea, and the transferring branch gets the book on the pick list again
14:38 jwagner     transferred between branches?
14:38 wizzyrea    is issue 1
14:38 wizzyrea    books have been transferred, they show up on the pick list the next day
14:37 wizzyrea    oi, I can try
14:36 jwagner     wizzyrea, can you describe the holds problem?  I'm still having trouble here.
14:35 wizzyrea    I have more examples, if you need them (you probably don't)
14:35 wizzyrea    kk ty
14:35 gmcharlt    wizzyrea: yeah, just reply w/subject intact
14:34 wizzyrea    or just reply w/ subject intact
14:34 wizzyrea    is there a way with your ticketing to make sure that a further info reply attaches to a specific ticket?
14:33 gmcharlt    for now
14:33 wizzyrea    the queuing?
14:33 wizzyrea    k. cool. So the workaround is to set the numbering manually?
14:31 gmcharlt    LL bug at moment - I'll make sure it's added to koha bug DB later today
14:31 wizzyrea    is that  LL bug or a koha bug? Number?
14:30 gmcharlt    wizzyrea: it's on my bug list
14:30 wizzyrea    ^.^
14:30 wizzyrea    we don't really understand the message we got from cookie
14:29 wizzyrea    idk if you're in the loop on the bizarre hold pick list problems we're having?
14:29 gmcharlt    wizzyrea: what's up?
14:29 wizzyrea    rhcl or gmcharlt: have a min?
14:07 atz         yeah, that actually is proper "wiki style" afaik
14:07 gmcharlt    simpler for future may be requiring use of signatures on certain pages
14:05 slef        oooh look, gmcharlt wrote it all
14:04 gmcharlt    *then* use git-blame :)
14:04 gmcharlt    we could always export each version of every page, and feed results into a git repo
14:03 slef        s/a couple of/
14:03 slef        atz: try using it to find who wrote what on http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=bugreportingfornewbies - I think we have a practical problem with attributing across several versions of a couple of at least three wiki sites :-/
14:02 gmcharlt    but I'm not finding a plugin that does it automatically
14:02 gmcharlt    a blame/annotation mode could be built
14:01 atz         but i don't know any way to get git-blame style info
14:01 atz         slef: wiki has built in "diff" view (side by side comparison)
13:59 slef        much less for parts of them
13:59 slef        I'm not confident that I could find who was the author for wiki pages
13:58 slef        is there an equivalent of git annotate for the wiki?
13:57 gmcharlt    by that can be done by CC0 + a request that reusers consider attribution
13:57 gmcharlt    I feel that retaining attribution is a Feature
13:56 gmcharlt    slef: my preference is descending order is CC-BY, CC0, outright public domain dedication (but may as well do CC0), CC-BY-SA
13:54 gmcharlt    slef: CC0 is OK with me as an alternative license
13:54 gmcharlt    and ensuring that any other new features in 3.0.x don't disappear unexpected after upgrade to tip
13:53 gmcharlt    particularly managing the DB schema
13:53 gmcharlt    my main concern is that there ends up being a clean path to upgrade 3.0.x installations to 3.2 in the future
13:53 gmcharlt    & hold fixes
13:52 gmcharlt    backporting support for enhanced content providers is reasonable
13:52 hdl_laptop1 I think we can discuss it tonight.
13:52 hdl_laptop1 does that sound realistic and ok ?
13:52 hdl_laptop1 release this time without those features and then announce reconciliation and integration of those features.
13:51 hdl_laptop1 I would like to :
13:51 hdl_laptop1 Are new things.
13:51 hdl_laptop1 LT Babeltheque and all the fixes on holds and Branchtransfer limit.
13:50 hdl_laptop1 But
13:50 hdl_laptop1 I told there would be no NEW feature. only bugfixes.
13:50 hdl_laptop1 Problem is :
13:50 hdl_laptop1 but I will let you judge it.
13:49 gmcharlt    yep
13:49 hdl_laptop1 It might be considered as 1st step towards reconciliation.
13:49 hdl_laptop1 It is about 200 commits.
13:48 hdl_laptop1 only based on cherry picking.
13:48 gmcharlt    cool
13:48 hdl_laptop1 gmcharlt: I have worked on 3.0.2
13:48 gmcharlt    hdl_laptop1: yes, thank you
13:48 hdl_laptop1 gmcharlt: are you better now ?
13:36 gmcharlt    if it's any consolation, I did find the WTFPL funny
13:35 slef        I also didn't link the WTFPL because it's NSFW and I didn't want that flamewar
13:35 slef        http://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/ is a summary and I didn't list lots of ambiguous cases
13:34 slef        sure - there are examples of both main and not distributable
13:34 gmcharlt    slef: not that you could tell from http://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/
13:33 slef        it's being allowed in for now, but there's considerable uncertainty about the TPM/DRM ban
13:32 slef        never trust wikis without citations
13:31 gmcharlt    CC-BY is fine
13:31 gmcharlt    https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses#CreativeCommonsShare-Alike.28CC-SA.29v3.0
13:20 slef        http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0
13:18 slef        looking
13:18 slef        it appeared since I was on the debian-CC working group
13:17 slef        at least I think it is - I've not looked in detail at it yet
13:17 slef        CC0 is another option if you really want some sort of CC
13:17 slef        I licensed today's new page under the WTFPL just to be silly
13:16 slef        CC-BY-SA would be incompatible with anything GPL'd I think, so CC-By may be better
13:05 gmcharlt    *CC-BY
13:05 gmcharlt    re wiki, is CC-BY-SA ok, or would you want it plain CC-CY
13:04 slef        FDL particularly irks me.  A non-free-software licence from the Free Software Foundation which allows adware and is impractical for most documentation
13:03 slef        I guess the wiki should probably be something very free-for-all or GPL
13:02 slef        neither FDL or (nearly all) CC are FOSS licences
13:02 slef        no, should be GPL
12:57 gmcharlt    currently GPL, should be GFDL or CC (or both)
12:57 gmcharlt    as a side note, it looks like clarifying the manual's license is in order
12:56 gmcharlt    slef: just sent out an RFC for relicensing the wiki
12:51 slef        heh http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/grahamjones/~3/-Ci1gIJxWnw/your-work-will-deteriorate-if-people-are-rude-on-twitter.html
12:14 gmcharlt    anybody who's created a page should be included as well
12:14 gmcharlt    hmm - actually, no that's not good enough
12:13 gmcharlt    so I propose that voting be open to anybody who's made more than say 5 edits
12:13 gmcharlt    slef: dokuwiki changelogs most easily give me the number of times a user made an edit
12:06 gmcharlt    slef: thanks
12:02 slef        sending
