gmcharlt, It dawned on my why override_context_prefs.pm was seemingly getting loaded during a 'make test'. Test::Class::Load loads all .pm modules in the directory that you pass it. We should be passing it 'lib', not '.'. |
| 13:11 |
|
gmcharlt |
acmoore: ahh, of course |
| 13:12 |
|
gmcharlt |
acmoore: behold the power of a punctuation mark in Perl ;-) |

Hello, is there a documentation team for Koha? |
| 15:35 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I'm interested in contributing... |
| 15:35 |
|
paul |
MatthewMetzger: you should ask nengard, she's writing some doc afaik. |
| 15:36 |
|
paul |
and it should be available on the new koha.org site, community driven if I don't mind |
| 15:36 |
|
nengard |
MatthewMetzger i'm just waiting for the new koha site!!! I'd love help - but right now all docs are on my domain |
| 15:36 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
paul: thanks. |
| 15:36 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: Hello. |
| 15:36 |
|
nengard |
i sent an eamil out asking everyone to make a decisions ... but got no answer |
| 15:37 |
|
nengard |
MatthewMetzger i'm also very close to done as it is - but it will need editing, more meat once it's out there in the world :) |
| 15:37 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: I graduated with an English degree and have editing a book that's been published before. |
| 15:38 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I'm interested in helping, but probably won't have serious time until June. |
| 15:38 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
s/editing/edited |
| 15:38 |
|
nengard |
MatthewMetzger - ditto here - english major and editing a book that's being published ;) hehe - good combo!! |
| 15:38 |
|
nengard |
MatthewMetzger good - hopefully by June it will be on a community driven site |
| 15:39 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: I've seen notices about a Plone design contest for the website. Will that be a replacement for the current wiki? |
| 15:39 |
|
nengard |
as far as i know - it's going to replace the current koha.org site and will have a plone documentation module for the manual - don't know about the wiki |
| 15:40 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: can I take a look at what you have now? You mentioned that it was on your domain. |
| 15:43 |
|
nengard |
MatthewMetzger i have to check with the liblime folks - and josh is on vaca ... i'll keep you psted |
| 15:43 |
|
nengard |
posted |
| 15:44 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: okay. Thanks. What's your connection to Koha? Are you a librarian or sysadmin? |
| 15:45 |
|
nengard |
I am the open source evangelist for LibLime ... resume: http://web2learning.net/about-me/resume |
| 15:45 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: That's very cool! |
| 15:45 |
|
nengard |
yes!! the best job title ever!!! |
| 15:48 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
Your resume looks good. I have similar experience, but am lacking in the web programming and database area. It's cool that you studied both English and Computer science in college. |
| 15:48 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I should have, but I only did English (what was I thinking?) |
| 15:49 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
Oh, well. I have three years experience now as a sysadmin for a private school (that uses Koha for their library - at my urging) |
| 15:49 |
|
nengard |
MatthewMetzger i fell into it - was only doing english but had to take a science class and hate bio and chem so i did comp sci and fell in love |
| 15:49 |
|
nengard |
but it was so long ago that comp sci wasn't what it is today |
| 15:49 |
|
nengard |
but i did learn a lot |
| 15:50 |
|
nengard |
and it got me where i am today - a lot of people are starting to look for web people who can write |
| 15:50 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
That's good news for me. |
| 15:50 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
:) |
| 15:57 |
|
paul |
nengard: if your doc is really about to be released, could you send it to us for translation ? |
| 15:57 |
|
nengard |
paul i don't have one doc - let me ask josh how we can do this best |
| 15:58 |
|
paul |
what does it mean "I don't have one doc" ? |
| 15:58 |
|
paul |
one = you have X docs |
| 15:58 |
|
paul |
one = a |
| 15:58 |
|
paul |
? |
| 15:58 |
|
nengard |
i have 100 docs |
| 15:59 |
|
paul |
hehe... that may be better to translate : we could ask 100ppl to do the translation ! |
| 15:59 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
paul: good idea! Distributed labor. |
| 15:59 |
|
paul |
I'm sure I could find more than 1 frenchie to do this job ! |
| 15:59 |
|
nengard |
:) that's what we did - we shared writing the docs |
| 16:00 |
|
nengard |
not 100 people though |
| 16:02 |
|
paul |
what is the format of those 100 docs ? ODF ? |
| 16:05 |
|
nengard |
annoying man on the phone....... |
| 16:05 |
|
paul |
and annoying man on the chat... |
| 16:05 |
|
nengard |
lol |
| 16:06 |
|
paul |
not a well starting day ;-) |
| 16:06 |
|
nengard |
not at all |
| 16:06 |
|
nengard |
docs are in google docs |
| 16:07 |
|
paul |
if I don't mind, one can export them in ODF, right ? |
| 16:07 |
|
nengard |
can't get him off the phone |
| 16:07 |
|
nengard |
ummm ... have to check on odf.. |
| 16:08 |
|
paul |
an evangelist must have evangelic behaviour 24/7 !!! ;-) |
| 16:08 |
|
nengard |
yes - open office is a format you can export |
| 16:08 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I second Paul's suggestion about ODF conversion. |
| 16:09 |
|
paul |
except for the time needed to export 100 docs, that could be a quick solution |
| 16:09 |
|
nengard |
well - i want it all in plone which will let us manage each doc on the web - |
| 16:09 |
|
nengard |
that way we can all work at once |
| 16:09 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
At least for people who are helping edit. Distribution will probably be better in HTML and PDF. |
| 16:09 |
|
nengard |
and translate easy |
| 16:10 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
Web is good :) |
| 16:11 |
|
paul |
nengard: in french we say "à défaut de grives on mange des merles". Which can be translated : "if you can't have foie gras, be happy with mac do" |
| 16:11 |
|
nengard |
want to eat my lunch!!!!! how do i stop him talking |
| 16:11 |
|
nengard |
it's not about open source |
| 16:11 |
|
nengard |
it's not my job |
| 16:11 |
|
nengard |
damn being out in the public |
| 16:12 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: I sent you an email, so you can contact me later about documentation. |
| 16:12 |
|
nengard |
great |
| 16:12 |
|
paul |
just unplug the phone, that could do the job |
| 16:12 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
nengard: One of us can call you on the other line so you could excuse yourself.... |
| 16:13 |
|
nengard |
got it |
| 16:13 |
|
nengard |
off the phone |
| 16:13 |
|
nengard |
going to eat now!!! |
| 16:13 |
|
nengard |
finally get to eat |
| 16:13 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
bye.. |
| 16:46 |
|
nengard |
I forget who was on when i asked this ... but i'll ask again - does anyone on know much about the zotero integration? |
| 16:46 |
|
nengard |
<nengard> <nengard> zotero question - I don't use this tool much - does anyone know why when you add an item from koha to zotero the view button is grayed out? the only option is to locate and that sends me to worldcat |
| 16:46 |
|
nengard |
<nengard> <nengard> also - zotero doesn't seem to be working on opac.liblime.com but it works on my install |
| 17:03 |
|
hdl |
nengard: afaik, it is all about coins support. |
| 17:03 |
|
hdl |
But i donot know much about how zotero was enabled. |
| 17:03 |
|
nengard |
do we know who developed it? |
| 17:03 |
|
nengard |
i can ask them how it works |
| 17:04 |
|
hdl |
kados or gmcharlt did |
| 17:04 |
|
nengard |
thanks |
| 17:04 |
|
nengard |
i'll ask them |
| 17:04 |
|
gmcharlt |
yes, it was kados |
| 17:06 |
|
nengard |
poor kados is going to have 300 emails just from me :) |
| 17:16 |
|
hdl |
gmcharlt: Is someone working on subscriptions ? |
| 17:17 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: none from LL specifically at the moment, unless ryan's working on a patch or two - why do you ask? |
| 17:17 |
|
hdl |
gmcharlt: I got no answers to my RFC on table adding for subscription management |
| 17:18 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: sorry - yes, I should respond to that |
| 17:18 |
|
hdl |
And I would like to implement those changes so that subscription would not be a redo process each time you edit. |
| 17:18 |
|
gmcharlt |
got a related RFC for 3.2/3.4 in the works for holdings that will come up in a couple weeks or thereabouts |
| 17:20 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: I'll look over it this weekend |
| 17:20 |
|
hdl |
I know that we donot fully support subscription holdings information at the moment. But keeping recorded data safe is important. |
| 17:21 |
|
hdl |
And with all this javascript, the process is quite unsafe. |
| 17:22 |
|
hdl |
do you know when joshua will be back ? |
| 17:24 |
|
nengard |
last week he said he had 9 weeks of travel!! not all vaca - but he's on the road for a while |
| 17:24 |
|
hdl |
wow. |
| 17:24 |
|
nengard |
i know!!! i'd be totally wiped out |
| 17:25 |
|
hdl |
(lucky enough he doesnot have a child) |
| 17:30 |
|
hdl |
about your ISBN problem, |
| 17:30 |
|
hdl |
it can be owed to Standard Number misuse |
| 17:31 |
|
hdl |
or to hyphens in the data, which are processed as spaces. |
