chris around? |

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