As developers/vendors make comments to the email. 21:36 wizzyrea_ me too 21:35 rhcl That's what I like - Smuckers Natural no sugar added 21:35 wizzyrea_ its all the sugar free natural stuff, right? 21:35 wizzyrea_ brendan++ 21:35 rhcl Can't you buy peanut butter in NZ? 21:35 brendan yeah but we can load up a suitcase - when we fly to NZ 21:34 chris its crazy expensive to send, so i dont actually recommend doing it 21:34 wizzyrea_ ooh extra crunchy jif, good to kno 21:33 chris that would work 21:32 brendan saying that vendor = developer 21:32 chris http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2008/08/06/write-free-software-and-people-will-send-you-peanut-butter/ 21:32 brendan So vendors can vote on everything except the development aspirations of KUDOS 21:32 wizzyrea_ haha 21:32 chris :) 21:32 chris so Jif 21:32 chris think of the most unhealthy 21:31 wizzyrea_ and crunchy or smooth... 21:31 wizzyrea_ Jif or Peter Pan, I can never remember 21:30 chris altho peanut butter for my wife is also acceptable 21:30 wizzyrea_ lol chris 21:30 chris it probably needs to involve chocolate and coffee 21:30 wizzyrea_ hee 21:30 chris you probably need to figure out some process of how you plan to interact with the RM's 21:30 schuster ugh oh I hear a soap box coming on. 21:29 chris speaking as newly elected RM for 3.4 21:29 wizzyrea_ anyway 21:29 wizzyrea_ through LL 21:29 wizzyrea_ oh yea, I imagine that our development coordinating website isn't going to come about Schuster 21:29 schuster respond to the email ... 21:29 schuster At the meeting Saturday one of the items that will be discussed are what types of services KUDOS should try to offer. email list probably but what else... I'm thinking we could coordinate some development exchange concepts - and those libraries that want to pay can put money into KUDOS services and have a vote on what is developed. 21:29 wizzyrea_ collum you do this just for fun? That's so cool 21:28 chris_n where should they be directed? 21:28 schuster Suggestions.... 21:28 collum How about me. Developer - but our library is not on koha. 21:27 chris_n schuster: one thing to consider is publishing a list of benefits to non-voting, dues paying members 21:27 chris yeah, thats the thing i was trying to say, but didnt very well 21:27 wizzyrea_ well* 21:27 wizzyrea_ but he's an employee of a library as ewll 21:27 wizzyrea_ he does dev work outside of his library 21:26 wizzyrea_ well like owen kinda 21:26 chris that vendors can sign 21:26 chris id love something like kudos to develop one 21:26 chris_n hybrid 21:26 * chris_n tries to imagine a library/vendor 21:26 chris code of ethics 21:26 chris oh 21:26 chris_n so what about ethics and a library staffed with developers? 21:26 schuster Yes wizzyrea, but they I suspect will be covered as a library 21:25 schuster We don't want the us/them either, but were thinking down the road if we had to contract for things how would that work... ie training opportunities, development work etc... and we needed a vendor that we had to pay. 21:25 wizzyrea_ I think you're likely going to see more actual librarian developers in a few years 21:24 schuster Yes we plan to post minutes of each meeting the board holds. Right now we are in that formative stage - we have a facebook account and that is about all besides the site Kyle Hall as up. 21:24 chris and less chance to annoy developers, id hate to see an us and them develop, with one notable exception koha has a great history of collaboration 21:24 chris ie if everyone can see what is being discussed and going on, no ambushes 21:23 schuster Yes KUDOS would want to be the voice of its membership and open and productive dialog is important. 21:23 chris could be resolved by total transparency 21:23 * chris_n likes the dues schedule too 21:23 chris i think that most of the issues i have 21:23 chris *nod* i like that 21:23 schuster keeping the cost low also provided for almost ANY library to be a member - that was a key focus. 21:22 schuster Yes you could, but there would be more than ONE big library ... 21:22 chris_n but you could have a big library attempting unethical things too 21:22 schuster Bigger - provides some equality... Why should Sioux Falls public library get one vote and Plano ISD with 67 locations get 1 vote.. I was in a group like that before and it was always very unfair I could never get anything to happen. 21:21 chris schuster: wasnt so much in holding things, more do you plan to work with them etc (im sure the answer is yes) 21:21 chris_n initially I was thinking that a library's vote could be weighted based on bibs and a vendor just gets 1:1 21:21 chris seems a bit dangerous 21:21 schuster We are more of a users group and not overly interested in holding things. Our primary interest is education and sharing. 21:21 rhcl No, my comment was intended to be stacatto 21:21 chris im just unsure bigger should equal more votes 21:20 chris rhcl: price was certainly not the issue i was speaking of 21:20 schuster As you see we are already weighting individual library memberships... 21:20 rhcl The proposed fee schedule seems quite modest. I see I'm paying $106 USD for ALA + LITA 21:20 chris what relationship does it plan to have with HLT in the short term (as hlt was elected to hold community property) and the foundation in the longer term 21:20 schuster what would you suggest chris_n? 21:19 chris i guess another consideration for kudos is 21:19 chris but feel free to put me in check if im out of line 21:19 chris i always try to play the ball not the man 21:18 chris well at least i hope i dont 21:18 chris i dont think i ever do that 21:18 chris_n seems that you could have some sort of "weighted" voting system if you wanted to "balance" interestes 21:18 schuster As long as you don't shoot the messenger! 21:18 * chris is just thinking out loud 21:17 schuster We're forging new waters here folks so anything you suggest we are open to... 21:17 chris im unlikely to have much direct contact with kudos in that respect 21:17 chris it feels to me like 1990 users groups 21:17 schuster make a comment to the posted agenda so we can all take it into consideration. 21:16 wizzyrea_ chris_n++ 21:16 chris_n imho, there should be a voting membership level for free-lance developers 21:16 schuster In the bylaws KUDOS doesn't acutally spell anything out... You and I know what it originally stood for, we want to engage developers, and get input from them, but our concern was the ethical practices when time comes to use a vendor for something like development. 21:16 chris ie going proprietary model 21:15 chris my fear is forcing a user/developer split 21:15 schuster Yes that is why we put that together to discuss... 21:15 chris ? 21:15 chris so the d in kudos is for show only/ 21:15 * chris_n is paying dearly for it, though ;-) 21:15 chris but i think its a valid issuer 21:14 schuster Then you could be considered a developer and be in at $10 but no vote. 21:14 * chris is playing devils advocate 21:14 chris no one is paying chris_n for his windows work 21:14 chris what if you arent paid 21:14 schuster Generally our thinking was if you are paid by a library to work with Koha - then you could influence the vote through your institution. 21:14 chris whatever partition zebra is on, needs to have fast disk 21:14 chris mysql the hardest 21:14 chris schuster: for koha, apache works the least hard of those 3 21:13 chris that was the issue that i could see problems with 21:13 schuster chris - since you brought this up - mysql, zebra and apache = what guestimate would you have for load? 21:13 chris or me when im working on my weekends? 21:13 chris ie chris_n for example 21:13 ccurry Great. I'd prefer that to using a tunnel. Cheers! 21:13 chris how do you cater for non vendor developers? 21:12 chris assuming the koha-conf is set up 21:12 schuster chris - the reason behind vendors not voting - was the possibility in the future as a service - development projects that might be contracted so there wouldn't be any concern with ethical practices. 21:12 chris (you can have your mysql server on a totally different machine to your webserver and zebrasrv if you want and koha still works) 21:12 ccurry That should have been an obvious place for me to look too. Thanks. 21:12 chris so that it connects to the ip you put in, instead of 127.0.0.1 21:11 chris ccurry: you can change the koha-conf.xml too 21:11 schuster wizzyrea - do you all have a document you use as you add a new location? I just don't want to miss any steps. 21:10 munin chris: The operation succeeded. 21:10 chris @later tell gmcharlt it was the voting thing 21:04 ccurry nevermind...just researched ssh tunneling, and it's a lot easier than I thought. 20:53 ccurry ...without having to setup an SSH tunnel (or is that what I should do?) 20:53 ccurry ...install a desktop environment on Debian and install MySQL administrator there, but that seems like overkill. Anyway, I can grant access to external hosts by replacing the "bind-address = 127.0.0.1" in my my.cnf, line 47, with the ip address of the server. When I do this, however, zebra can no longer access the db to index new items. Can anyone explain how I can get around this problem... 20:53 ccurry This is a basic question and I'm going to feel like an idiot when I get an answer, but I've spent way too long trying to figure it out. I'm trying to allow access to my koha mysql server from my workstation, running Windows & MySQL Administrator. I'm used to using MySQL on windows and I like the gui admin for MySQL. It seems silly to learn all of the cl commands now. I guess I could... 20:51 gmcharlt chris: which KUDOS email? the agenda? 20:51 gmcharlt hi hdl_laptop - happy new year to you as well 20:50 hdl_laptop Happy New year 20:50 hdl_laptop hi gmcharlt 20:49 gmcharlt rhcl: almost certainly not Koha; certainly the OPAC isn't 20:45 rhcl .asp - I'm thinking not koha 20:44 rhcl based on this: http://old.nabble.com/Start-Russian-translation-of-Koha-3.0-td14980243.html 20:44 rhcl does this look like a koha opac? http://www.opac.ucu.edu.ua/marcweb/work.asp 20:29 chris im sure there is at least one in the ukraine too 20:29 chris http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha 20:29 chris i just want it on the map 20:29 chris i know there is one 20:28 chris we need a library in russia 20:10 chris http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/No+One+Will+Believe+Me+When+I+M+Dead/19630248 20:10 chris song of the day time 20:06 wizzyrea_ schuster: sup? 19:57 brendan +1 19:56 chris ohh i bet that's gonna start arguments, im not touching the kudos email :-) 19:54 schuster wizzyrea still here? 19:54 chris i send patches from chris@bigballofwax when its my homework, and from @catalyst or @liblime or @katipo whatever the case may be, when its work work 19:53 moodaepo chris: Ok..just checking : ) 19:53 chris its all in docbook xml 19:53 chris which will hopefully go up on the site, soon 19:52 chris moodaepo: there is a new documentation repo 19:52 chris_n schuster: similar thing here 19:52 moodaepo What about the documentation on the koha.org site? 19:52 chris its the same most places, apart from the proof bit 19:52 schuster Now if I do it from home I can put my name on it, but need to show proof it was done from home. 19:51 schuster In the US Technically working for a school district anything I create while at work is owned by the district. I can't put my name on it. 19:49 chris yeah that copyright thing i chalked up us marketing, and we all know marketing only needs to be within 12 blocks of actual truth :-) 19:47 chris and even that is a 15 min taxi ride, or 40 min bus :) 19:47 chris plus wellington is small, and has good public transport, no where is far away (less you live out in the burbs like me) 19:46 chris so any hotel you get close to the convention, works for it too 19:46 schuster cool 19:46 schuster Ah then that makes it easy... 19:46 chris plus its 5-10 mins walk from the convention centre 19:46 schuster OK - that was just a concern in how people would get from their hotel to your workplace and how much that might cost etc... 19:46 chris and i can swing it for free 19:45 chris we have seminar and training rooms, and good internet, and espresso machines and such 19:45 chris schuster: no not a library, my work place 19:39 chris_n jdavidb: lol :-) 19:37 schuster I just posted to the lists the agenda for KUDOS on Saturday - if you can't attend the KUDOS board would still like to get your comments and feedback on the proposed dues and memebership structure. 19:37 chris_n changes, I understand 19:37 chris_n I think it boils down to 100 years from the date of first copyright if a renewal is applied for 19:37 nengard plus if changes have been made by them they can own them ... 19:37 jdavidb to me, owning Dewey is like owning a cat. If you have it around you, it owns *you.*. 19:36 nengard isn't it 75 years after the death? 19:36 * chris_n apologizes to owen 19:36 chris_n own, even 19:36 * chris_n wonders how they can "owen" Dewey when his work is over 100 years old iirc 19:35 chris_n atz: LL's past contributions certainly cannot be ignored nor should they be disregarded, I agree 19:34 nengard not even as a kid 19:34 nengard well - i would be LC anyway - I have never used Dewey 19:34 nengard LOL 19:34 jdavidb nengard: probably so, since OCLC now owns Dewey. They're fussy. 19:34 atz but it was fair to say, at some point in the past, that LL was originating the majority of commits, and majority of quality code in Koha. but that's not the case (for public Koha) anymore. 19:34 chris_n I think the idea is neat 19:34 nengard can I get sued if I use Dewey at home? 19:34 * chris_n agrees 19:33 nengard to sue them 19:33 jdavidb (sompin like that) 19:33 nengard yes, each room has a Dewey number - but that's just stupid 19:33 * chris_n hands nengard some coffee 19:33 jdavidb yep. They were decorating the rooms according to the Dewey classification of the room number. 19:33 nengard oh - duh :) 19:33 chris_n dewey 19:33 nengard DDC? 19:33 chris_n it seems that the holders of the DDC were suing it 19:33 nengard looks awesome - but NYC - so expensive I assume 19:33 atz chris_n: i examined this claim before. it's basically junk. it made *some* sense regarding MARC21-only since 3.0 features, including documentation, including all the (large) amount of code in LEK. 19:32 nengard each room has a genre 19:32 nengard chris_n yes - it's in NYC 19:32 * chris_n remembers an article about a library hotel somewhere in the news some time ago 19:32 nengard atz - not really asking if I can - more if I should have thought of that ... I don't need to copyright them, just wondering what the rules are 19:31 nengard schuster - but a library has free wi fi and - well - it's a library :) better than a hotel :) hehe 19:31 chris_n hardly a majority 19:31 atz nengard: probably would be fine to. you can make one statement to cover all the help files though. 19:31 chris_n along with PTFS's 4, that makes 320 occurrences belonging to PTFS when the deal closes 19:31 schuster ah... Just looking at the website and the hotels near the convention center got me wondering about the hack fest later. The Holiday Inn didn't charge us for the room because of the fill rate we had there. 19:31 chris_n atz: so 316 of those 1802 belonged to LL 19:30 nengard schuster chris is working on getting discounts and such 19:30 chris_n if I bugfix, I do nothing 19:30 chris_n if I totally re-write or originate, I copyright it 19:30 schuster Just thinking about hotel accomodations for those lucky enough to make it to NZ... 19:30 atz chris_n: LL acquired Katipo's interests in Koha back when i was working there. 19:30 nengard however i did write most of the help files in Koha - but didn't copyright them ... should I have? 19:30 chris_n nengard: what I have done is this: if I add to the file significantly, I add my "name" to the list of copyright holders 19:29 nengard makes sense 19:29 atz nengard: technically, sorta. it's just lame though to try to assert authorship if you are just bugfixing or extending. 19:28 chris_n of course that includes all of the Yahoo stuff, etc as well 19:28 nengard chris_n do you know how a file gets a copyright note added to it? If I come in and edit a file copyright Katipo doesn't that mean I too belong in that copyright note? 19:27 nengard wizzyrea yes, everything I'm writing now is join copyright Me, BibLibre and ByWater 19:27 chris_n 26 by 'Team' ... presumably 'Koha Dev Team' 19:26 chris_n 42 by 'BibLibre' 19:25 chris_n 242 are followed by the word 'Katipo' 19:24 chris_n out of 1802 occurrences of the word 'Copyright' in the codebase, it appears that 94 of them are followed by the word 'LibLime' according to grep 19:20 wizzyrea_ except LEK, of course 19:19 wizzyrea_ so new stuff = not their copyright 19:19 wizzyrea_ those copyrights are only for 3.0 though, right? 19:18 nengard in short - not the same place as the conference 19:18 nengard or he was trying to get in at a local library - something like that 19:18 nengard schuster i think he said it was going to be at a local library 19:18 nengard chris_n yeah that line stuck with me too 19:13 schuster I know he will followup when he gets there... 19:12 wizzyrea_ chris is afk, bus 19:12 * chris_n wonders about the accuracy of this statement: "copyrights for the majority of the documentation and source code for the Koha software" made here: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6714841.html 19:11 schuster chris - where will the hackfest be? 19:02 jdavidb Some of the regional bus route-operators up here have wifi on the bus. Bolt Bus and Peter Pan Lines do. ($20 to NYC from here. With wi-fi and power outlets for all. <3 ) 19:01 nengard chris that's more than any bus I know of in the US 19:01 * chris wanders off 19:00 chris i wish more than just the airport bus had free wifi 19:00 chris ok, bus time, back in 40 mins or so 19:00 chris good to hear 19:00 atz thx 19:00 atz yeah, back in decent health now 18:57 brendan hey atz - hope you're feeling better :) 18:56 chris s/it/i/ 18:56 chris so do it 18:53 jwagner Yep. Colin's helped us out on a number of things, and I think he'd be a great QA manager. 18:52 chris so ptfs europe will be busy too 18:52 chris and colin will be doing QA manager ... unless someone else is mad^H^H^H brave enough to volunteer 18:52 jwagner PTFS Europe is an independent company, but we have some licensing and consulting arrangements, and that will almost certainly continue. 18:51 atz jwagner: how closely do you work w/ your European counterparts? 18:50 jwagner Incidentally, when I say "jdavidb and I" that includes the rest of our staff who don't normally log into the IRC -- we'll ALL be busy! 18:48 chris thats just my 2cents 18:48 chris public squeeing, and joy about return to open source ... will help people move in the right directions 18:47 chris i think that a lot of the future of koha, in the US, is up to the libraries in the US 18:47 jwagner It's going to be busy around here, for sure! 18:47 wizzyrea_ queeeee! 18:47 jdavidb please do! 18:47 jwagner Yes, wizzyrea_, you can squee all you like :-) 18:46 wizzyrea_ can we squee now? 18:46 chris that sounds fair enough 18:45 chris hiya jwagner and jdavidb 18:44 chris_n hi jwagner && jdavidb 18:44 munin brendan: The current temperature in Third Avenue Park, West Haven, Connecticut is 2.7�C (1:39 PM EST on January 14, 2010).

That will have to be what jdavidb & I focus on during the transition. 18:41 jdavidb howdy, brendan. 18:41 brendan howdy jdavidb 18:41 jwagner Those decisions will be made above our (jdavidb & mine) pay grade. We cannot speak for the company on those issues. 18:41 jwagner We are still in the due diligence phase of the deal, so nothing is final.

You'd have to make sure the tablesorter js referenced the right element ID from detail.tmpl 16:25 schuster I would stick it into the detail.pl? that still will work? 16:25 owen yes, you could add the table sorter to the staff side if you wanted 16:23 schuster owen - question about the table sorter. I'm playing a bit - in the opac it is part of the opac-detail.tmpl - in staff the table I want to sort is part of detail.pl so can I still use this? 16:05 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4045 critical, P5, ---, henridamien@koha-fr.org, NEW, No check for maximum number of allowed holds. 16:05 owen hdl_laptop: I've filed a bug I hope you can investigate: Bug 4045 15:58 nengard I wouldn't recommend doing it in the pac 15:58 schuster But if you are doing collection development and search for a title (this is where it is problematic) you order another one because yours is on loan to another location. 15:58 nengard well since it's the staff client we could put in an enhancement request to show both on the summary below the bib record details 15:57 owen schuster: We're the opposite. We usually want to know where it is, not where it belongs. But that's because we can tell where it belongs from the barcode. :| 15:57 schuster I'm thinking that "Location" should really be linked to the home library not current. 15:57 nengard i'm not in a library so i have no clue if it bothers librarians ;) hehe was just wondering where you were looking 15:56 nengard got it 15:56 schuster I don't see it unless you click on the barcode and look at home location. 15:56 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in South on Monks, Mankato, Minnesota is -4.2�C (9:53 AM CST on January 14, 2010).

When a book is loaned and checked out to another location it is driving my librarians nuts that on the display screen it is showing current location rather than home location so they never know if they own that book or not. 15:50 kf hi hdl_laptop 15:49 hdl_laptop hi kf 15:49 hdl_laptop hi brendan 15:45 munin kf: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Germany is 2.2�C (4:40 PM CET on January 14, 2010).

Heh, I had a dream about you last night... I dreamt you were at NEKLS for a book signing. 15:20 owen :D 15:20 nengard you have no sympathy from me 15:20 nengard Oh poor baby 15:20 Nate boo hoo 15:20 nengard Hi Brendan! 15:20 Nate he's complaining about the cold 15:20 nengard i'm going to take a long long steamy shower - hoping the steam will relieve my sinus pressure :( 15:20 wizzyrea_ man, I wanted to go to ALA just to go to the party >.> 15:20 Nate Brendan is reading over my shoulder and says hi to everyone 15:19 Nate heading up tommorow morning 15:19 nengard got it 15:19 nengard I know he's going - just not sure if he was there yet 15:19 Nate not yet 15:19 Nate nope just at home raiding the cabinet 15:19 wizzyrea_ if I had to guess Nate is at ALA 15:18 nengard Nate are you in a hotel? that's something that hotels with breakfast always seem to have available 15:18 Nate but honestly they were pretty dang good 15:18 wizzyrea_ you're welcome :D 15:17 wizzyrea_ hehe I walked into that 15:17 Nate you set me up for that one 15:17 Nate THEYRE GRRRRREEEEAT! 15:17 wizzyrea_ how were they? 15:17 Nate I just ate Frosted Flakes for the first time in like 20 years! 15:01 wizzyrea_ Hi Nate :) 15:00 Nate Hi wizzyrea_! 14:59 liz-nekls hey everybody 14:51 owen Hi liz-nekls 14:33 schuster There is a pref for if they are logged in to search local holdings 14:30 nengard hehe 14:30 collum I'm back. 14:30 collum Another option, if the patron is logged in, would be to have the patron's home branch listed first, and the alphabetical. 14:30 nengard and i know why people want fewer prefs - but at the same time the more we have the more people can customize on their own 14:30 owen We should have a sys pref for how many sys prefs there are. 14:30 nengard this is why there are so many sys prefs 14:29 schuster I also understand owens comment. 14:29 schuster I could do that thanks. 14:29 owen schuster why not file a bug report? 14:28 nengard I would too - but i see what owen is saying 14:28 schuster hmmm ok I'd just like them in alpha! 14:28 nengard that is so true 14:28 nengard LOL 14:27 owen As soon as you switch it to be alphabetical by default you'll get a library who says, "But we want our MAIN library to be listed first, then each other in descending order of importance!" 14:27 nengard owen that's my guess too - they entered them in alpha order 14:26 schuster I'll contact Cory and see what he has to say. 14:26 owen But I don't know. 14:26 owen Seems likely that theirs were added in that order too, just came out to be alpha for them. 14:26 schuster Not the detail but the summary 14:25 schuster Search result screen where all the titles are listed and then in green locations are noted. On my install they are as they were added to the database. Theirs looks to be alpha. 14:24 owen schuster: Or are you referring to the summary of copies available on the search results screen? 14:20 schuster self supported I believe. Cory Yeager was at KohaCon09 and stayed for the development days after. 14:20 owen Are you referring to this screen? http://koha.dce.k12.wi.us/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=17081 14:20 schuster self hosted 14:19 owen schuster is that a PTFS client? 14:18 schuster My Librarians would LOVE that. 14:18 schuster http://koha.dce.k12.wi.us/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=twilight&idx=kw&istp=1&lex1= 14:18 schuster On another note... I see on DC everest catalog it looks as though their locations are in alpha order on the summary screen... 14:16 schuster Ok that's the end of my tirade on lexile - fyi registration is free to lexile. 14:13 schuster oooo.... Donuts... 14:10 collum Donuts in the breakroom. bbiab. priorities. 14:09 nengard yup 14:09 owen :P to them. 14:09 nengard owen - i'd have to register 14:09 collum With my spelling I would probably get a high rating. :) 14:09 schuster That is very true... You will see lexiles on Ebsco and Gale product articles too... 14:08 nengard I doubt I am 14:08 nengard LOL 14:08 owen nengard: You can lexile your blog and find out if you're using enough big words ;) 14:08 schuster Mind you if you take a paragraph from the first of the book, middle and end you will probably come up with totally different numbers. 14:07 schuster http://www.lexile.com/analyzer/ 14:07 schuster You can lexile a book - take a paragraph from something and run it through their algorithm. 14:06 schuster library asking for books with a lexile range and the public libraries have no clue. 14:06 schuster So many picture books are NOT lexiled because they have so few words - and the process falls apart. That's when you have the parents after parent/teacher conferences going to the public 14:06 collum It would be nice if they showed the criteria by which a book was rated. 14:05 schuster The theory is that you find books in your "range" and you will become a more successful reader. 14:05 schuster Probably because of the made up words, but its sentence structure is probably pretty complex as well. 14:04 schuster I just searched clockwork orange and it has a lexile of 1310L 14:04 schuster http://www.lexile.com/search/filters/results/ 14:03 schuster bbiam 14:03 collum Kentucky is doing the same. 14:03 schuster Books have a specific number, but a person may have a range - 400-475 14:03 collum How would you rate something like "Clockwork Orange?" A book with lots of made up vocabulary. 14:03 nengard hmm 14:03 schuster Texas in the last 2 years has put lexile scores on the state test telling parents what their child's range is. 14:02 nengard i forget what library asked me about lexile searching when i was training them ... i'm now assuming it wasn't you schuster 14:02 schuster So therefore may not have an accurate rating. 14:02 schuster Some of his books are 300 others are 1800. When a new book comes out if it isn't officially lexiled they may use a "range" which would be an "average" based on previous books. 14:01 nengard yeah - i can see why you wouldn't like this 14:01 nengard bleh 14:01 schuster If you look at their Lexile database they have maybe 125,000 books "Officially" lexiled. My favorite example is John Grisham who writes books with a range of lexiles. 14:01 owen I don't like that a company "owns" it. :( 14:00 collum Are the numbers assigned by humans or machine? 14:00 nengard okay - that's just silliness - I suck at test taking but I rock at reading - I would have been a really low level according to the test 14:00 schuster metametrics is a company that owns the lexile "formula" Lexile is a formula they developed to analyze a book and assign it a lexile. 13:59 schuster Lexile is a number assigned a book based on word length and sentence structure. 13:59 collum Is "metametrics" a computer algorithm? 13:59 nengard thanks for the link collum 13:59 collum I'm reading http://www.lexile.com/about-lexile/lexile-overview/ 13:59 schuster owen and nengard - exactly - you have heard of Accelerated reading? well many of the same arguments apply. 13:58 owen I can see parents using it as a guide to what books might be appropriate for their kids' reading level 13:53 nengard I was reading adult level books in 5th grade already 13:52 nengard are you saying libraries use lexiles to limit what kids can read? 13:52 nengard schuster want to give your lexile rant here? I just read your email and have to admit that I hadn't heard of lexiles until working with koha 13:46 * owen is optimistic, considering no time travelers have come back from the year 3000 to warn us of the great Koha wars 13:45 * chris_n wonders off to finish rebuilding his production Koha server 13:44 chris_n this certainly could be a major point in Koha's history 13:43 chris_n yup 13:43 Nate Exciting Times!! 13:43 Nate so far they have done nothing to suggest they would do otherwise 13:43 chris_n yes, the press release did quote Yokley as speaking of resolving community issues 13:42 Nate I have all the confedence in them, however 13:42 * chris_n too 13:42 Nate I'm sure he will, I just hope it answers some of our questions 13:41 chris_n Yokley will probably have some statement to make 13:41 chris_n I'm sure that some statement will be forthcoming as PTFS is not ignorant of what has transpired of late 13:41 Nate ahh that could be it chris_n 13:40 nengard mostly people there to absorb info - not try and get more info 13:40 chris_n I was thinking that they might not be authorized to speak on behalf of their employer 13:40 Nate just my opinion 13:40 nengard Nate at ALA there are fewer people to ask the hard questions 13:40 Nate I would think that telling us news via irc is less awkward than at ALA in a press conference? 13:39 * chris_n does not blame them 13:39 chris_n probably trying to avoid awkward situations 13:39 schuster They also could be in Boston setting up booths for this large conference coming up since it is so close to them. 13:39 Nate suprising 13:39 chris_n this one and the last 13:39 chris_n owen: yes, absent for both meetings 13:39 schuster that's what I suspect owen... 13:38 chris_n opps :-( 13:38 owen I noticed jwagner and jdavidb were significantly absent yesterday. News blackout? 13:38 schuster This weekend! 15-18th? 13:38 nengard chris_n - no it starts tomorrow and ends the 19th 13:38 chris_n or maybe 18th 13:38 chris_n 19th... iirc 13:38 kf when is ALA midwinter? 13:38 owen Someday a library sugar-daddy will decide I need to go to ALA meetings and I'll get to see these things in person. 13:38 chris_n I wonder if we'll see the PTFS folks around until after ALA? 13:37 * chris_n agrees with schuster 13:37 owen schuster I think you and nengard are both correct. 13:37 nengard those of you going to ALA midwinter will have to fill the rest of us in 13:37 nengard I think we have to wait for the press conference for that 13:36 schuster PTFS coming out telling us exactly what they are planning to do with community!!! that is the answer on topping yesterday! 13:35 Nate hiya paul_p 13:35 owen So how can we top yesterday? 13:35 paul_p good morning Nate, nengard, Ropuch, kf, chris_n, owen schuster & everybody 13:35 owen Hi Nate 13:32 Nate Good morning chris_n,kf,Ropuch,nengard,schuster, and owen! 13:29 owen If you want to show "new and upcoming" I would think that would be just a few 13:29 owen zico, why would you want to do 10,000 books?
