08:17 chris cool
08:25 kf chris: there was some confusion (ebegin asked about the bug on irc), because no patch attached - I saw that hdl wrote a patch (http://spedr.com/2lwnl)
08:26 chris yep, not sure it has been pushed yet
08:27 chris but yeah would be good to attach it
08:27 Ropuch Hi kf, chris
08:28 kf ok
08:30 kf chris: do you want me to attach it? I was not sure it was what you did before updating pootle
08:30 kf hi Ropuch
08:30 chris yeah i applied it locally then ran the update on the german files
08:31 kf ah ok
08:32 kf not sure how to attach it, I will add a link to the mailing list archive

08:49 kf will need some help later with zebra :( I tried adding a new index for record control numbers (used for linking bibs to each other in $w)
08:54 chris ahhh hdl_laptop is a guru with that
08:55 hdl_laptop hi chris
08:55 brendan left #koha
08:56 chris there he is :)
09:00 kf :)
09:00 kf hi hdl_laptop
09:02 kf hdl_laptop: I have a problem with zebra and adding new indexes and chris recommended you as zebra guru. but the problem is on my laptop at home, so you are save :)
09:04 Colin joined #koha
09:04 hdl_laptop can you describe that in details in an email. So that we can spare time.
09:04 hdl_laptop what you did
09:04 hdl_laptop What you want
09:04 hdl_laptop What you tested
09:04 hdl_laptop you can have some clues using zebraidx -S
09:05 hdl_laptop btw there should be a symposium about Koha in France by the end of May
09:05 kf hdl_laptop: I hope I have time to work on it today after work, will write you an email if zebra stays stubborn
09:05 kf hm but will be in french?
09:06 kf hdl_laptop: and thx for the offer!
09:06 hdl_laptop I think so
09:06 hdl_laptop http://docmiop.wordpress.com/symposium-koha/
09:07 kf I regret that I took Russian in school and not French :(
09:07 chris hdl_laptop: you should put that up on koha-community.org
09:07 hdl_laptop chris Yes.
09:07 chris hdl_laptop: is it at the SAN OP library ?
09:07 hdl_laptop yes
09:08 chris kf: its worth going just to see that library :)
09:09 kf I will give a talk on koha next week
09:09 * chris wishes he could go, hdl_laptop say hi to bruno and arnaud from me

09:30 Genji joined #koha
09:30 Genji hiya all!
09:31 Genji Hmm.....  theres  a distinct lack of Topic:
09:33 thd Genji: and no one seems to have permissions to set a topic :)
09:34 Genji Yes.... my GenjiScreen has been continuously lurking, waiting to be the first connection, if the server ever goes down..
09:34 Genji Guess it never has.
09:35 Genji Theres a community meeting of some sort today?
09:35 magnus Genji: yup http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]etingnotes10apr07
09:36 Genji cool.
09:56 Genji whos actually awake?
09:58 kf oh, today is meeting?
09:58 thd not me
09:58 Genji yes, i believe, in 2 minutes time?
09:59 kf oh :( will miss most of it I think
10:00 kf bbl
10:00 Genji huh... christmas island is ahead of new zealand...
10:02 thd who is conducting the meeting?
10:03 thd who is here?
10:04 chris i am
10:04 Ropuch Me too
10:04 Colin I'm here
10:04 magnus me 2
10:04 chris but we probably need gmcharlt if it is to be useful, at least for the 3.2 bit
10:05 chris we could cover the other items on the agenda, and anything else people want to talk about as well
10:05 thd Do we have anyone to cover 3.0?
10:06 chris hdl_laptop was here earlier
10:07 thd hdl_laptop: ping
10:07 thd chris: are you starting the meeting for the presently assembled?
10:08 collum joined #koha
10:09 chris if people want to, i have nothing to talk about
10:10 thd I could propose a topic if of discussion if no one is yet present to cover important agenda items
10:11 * thd hunts for the link
10:12 thd http://old.nabble.com/wiki.koh[…]g-td27799812.html
10:12 chris yep we need gmcharlt to talk to that point to
10:12 thd Was there no reminder for this meeting?
10:12 chris no
10:13 thd I have been making many reminders and reminding others about reminders.
10:13 thd This should be a lesson to us in the absence of reminders people will forget.
10:15 collum[1] joined #koha
10:16 Genji first i knew of this meeting, is the committee saying that the entire committee says its unnecessary to attend this meeting? no progress has occured on koha.org
10:17 Genji "All koha subcommitteee members were contacted to discuss whether any point in us meeting: answer no. Chris, Galen et al are all equally up with the play as I am." from joann
10:17 chris that was the meetng this morning genji
10:17 Genji ah... hmm.. okay.
10:17 chris and they were both announced (the community handover meeting this morning and this one)
10:18 chris and posted on the koha-community.org site and the wiki
10:18 chris just not a reminder sent out yesterday
10:18 Genji anyway, im here. Hiya chris.
10:18 collum left #koha
10:19 chris i suspect the time of this meeting is pretty bad for non insomniacs (like thd :))
10:19 Ropuch ;>
10:19 chris its what 5.20am or something?
10:20 gmcharlt good morning - sorry, thought 10:00 UTC+0 would be 07:00 EDT
10:20 thd 6.20 AM in Florida
10:20 chris there ya go
10:20 chris yeah 7 is more managable
10:21 Genji so, whos meeting chair?
10:21 thd 7 is less manageable for me
10:22 collum[1] left #koha
10:22 gmcharlt well, do we have a quorum to get started now?
10:22 thd we may be missing informed content about the state of 3.0
10:22 collum joined #koha
10:23 chris i think so
10:23 thd paul_p: are you present?
10:23 gmcharlt I saw hdl_laptop was here 1.5 hours ago
10:23 gmcharlt so maybe he'll jump in
10:23 gmcharlt so ....
10:23 gmcharlt belatedly
10:23 gmcharlt let's get this meeting started
10:23 gmcharlt round of intros
10:24 * gmcharlt = Galen Charlton, RM, Equinox
10:24 * Ropuch = Piotr Wejman, Biblioteka CSNE
10:24 thd Thomas Dukleth, Aggme, New York City
10:24 * chris = Chris Cormack, TM, Catalyst
10:24 thd Thomas Dukleth, Agogme, New York City

10:25 magnus Magnus Enger, Libriotech, Norway
10:25 * Genji = Waylon Robertson, mandumah.com edusearch devel, 33rd contributor, Palmerston North, New Zealand.
10:25 chilts Andy Chilton, Catalyst IT
10:26 Colin Colin Campbell PTFS-Europe
10:28 gmcharlt small, intimate meeting, I see :)
10:28 gmcharlt agenda is
10:28 gmcharlt - Update on [[:en:development:roadmap3.2]].
10:28 gmcharlt - Update on [[:en:development:roadmap3.0]].
10:28 gmcharlt - Follow-up on actions from [[meetingnotes10mar03]].
10:28 gmcharlt - Developer documentation
10:28 gmcharlt - Agree times of next meetings.
10:29 gmcharlt re 3.2 - I'm working on the backlog of patches that have been submitted - will be pushing the bugfixes with aim of getting a 3.2 alpha 2 out the door in a couple weeks
10:29 mason oops, running late...
10:29 mason = Mason James, KohaAloha. NZ
10:30 gmcharlt and if chris doesn't mind, I think we're in a position where a 3.4 branch should be started soon to accept the new features that keep coming in
10:31 Colin gmcharlt: How big is the backlog?
10:31 chris a 3.4 branch ... or a 3.2 branch and the features go into master?
10:33 gmcharlt Colin: about 150 bugfixes patches, and more features patches, some of which are masquerading as bugfixes
10:33 gmcharlt chris: a 3.2 branch with new stuff going into master is fine, though you'll need to merge often over the next few weeks if we do it that way
10:34 gmcharlt althernative is a future branch that gets merged into master when we split off 3.2 for maintenance
10:34 chris im easy either way, one big merge at the end or smaller ones along the way
10:35 chris whatever is easier for you
10:35 gmcharlt either way, we'll either new help getting gitosis perms worked out on git.koha.org or get git.koha-community.org up
10:35 chris yup
10:36 chris i have permission to push, for 3.0.x anyway
10:36 gmcharlt Colin: if you would start QM work now and do a patch testing and signoffs for 3.2 and give me pullable chunks of testable patches, that would be a good thing
10:36 chris but we will need to give fredericd permission to push up po files
10:37 Colin gmcharlt: ok
10:37 chris Colin: and any that look like new features that i could pull that would be most excellent
10:39 chris i think ill make a new_features branch and then when we branch 3.2.x for maintenance merge that back into master .. i think thats easiest
10:39 gmcharlt chris: sounds good
10:40 gmcharlt was it brendan who offerred to host git.k-c.org?
10:40 kf hi, sorry for being late
10:40 chris i think so
10:40 hdl_laptop here
10:42 chris you just pushed a bunch now gmcharlt ?
10:42 gmcharlt chris: starting to
10:42 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: good morning - let's move on to the 3.0.x update
10:42 * chris tests .. nope i cant push a new branch
10:43 chris so we will need cfouts help with that
10:43 chris or, shift git
10:43 gmcharlt right
10:43 gmcharlt chris, why don't you see if cfouts will help you set up the new branch and permissions
10:43 chris will do
10:43 hdl_laptop 3.0.x still has one problem I have to cope with : xsltfiles.
10:43 chris ill drop him an email first thing in the morning when im more coherent
10:44 hdl_laptop But the branch is stable enough
10:44 nengard joined #koha
10:45 hdl_laptop I also have to care about some reserves isssues that were reported on the koha-fr channel
10:46 chris you are still planning a 3.0.6 release?
10:46 hdl_laptop Yes.
10:46 chris cool
10:46 hdl_laptop as soon as those two problems can be coped with
10:47 thd hdl_laptop: In what way are xsltfiles a problem?
10:47 hdl_laptop change on xslt preferences.
10:47 gmcharlt which were not forward-compatible with work being done in 3.2
10:47 hdl_laptop to take file patchs and urls instead of being hradcoded.
10:48 hdl_laptop yes.
10:48 thd Thanks for the clarification
10:49 hdl_laptop any questions ?
10:50 tirabo joined #koha
10:50 mason none from me
10:51 chris nor me
10:51 gmcharlt ok, moving on to follow-up from action items from previous meeting
10:51 gmcharlt I think main thing hanging over is updating the bug assignees
10:52 tajoli joined #koha
10:53 chris ah yes
10:54 kf will bugzilla move to koha-community.org too?
10:54 mason can that re-assigning be done easily using the web-gui?
10:54 chris yep, you can change the default assignees easily that way
10:55 mason ok, i thought so...
10:55 chris kf: yes, catalyst will probably be hosting it
10:55 * chris makes sure to follow that up with the sysadmins tomorrow
10:56 * nengard = Nicole Engard (who is late)
10:56 chris (we have the ok to host it, just need to make it happen but the urgency came off a little bit, but the plan is still to move it afaik)
10:56 gmcharlt chris: cool
10:56 gmcharlt ok, moving on
10:56 gmcharlt next agenda item is developer documentation
10:57 * kf = Katrin Fischer, BSZ
10:57 Genji with PTFS acquiring liblime, its possible that you could get bugzilla's actual database, chris?
10:57 chris it is a possibility
10:58 chris i have xml of all the bugs, if that doesnt pan out tho .. it would be much nicer to get the db of course
10:58 tajoli Hi [tajoli = Zeno Tajoli , CILEA], for developer documentation I think that my offer about MySQL is under this topic
10:58 nengard gmcharlt my goal was to get something written to make people new to koha and possibly to programming to feel more comfortable jumping in ... but i don't think i made that clear and so i have no clue where we are with developer docs since so many people had opinions :)
10:58 * Genji nods. "Can always ask first, then if that fails, xml it.'
10:59 nengard the problem is i can't write it alone - cause i don't know what i don't know :)
10:59 gmcharlt nengard: I think the main issue is that I was concerned whether you were right a tutorial or (as I think some others may have been wanting) normative documentation that sets development standards and policies
10:59 thd nengard: Whereof one does not know one can ask and cajole.
11:00 nengard well i think we need both
11:00 nengard and in both cases i couldn't do it alone
11:00 tajoli For me is clear that I need to coordinate SQL docs with this effort
11:00 gmcharlt but, no offense, you are not the one to write the latter
11:00 Genji An idea, is to create a wikibook?
11:00 gmcharlt normative dev standards *must* be *openly* discussed by *all* active developers
11:00 nengard no offense taken - but i don't see anyone who should be writing it jumping in :)
11:00 gmcharlt either on koha-devel or on the wiki
11:01 thd nengard: we once had a now out of date document about the coding standards in kohadocs.org
11:01 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: ok.
11:01 chris i agree
11:01 hdl_laptop But when should we start talking about that ?
11:01 gmcharlt which is not to say that the final result couldn't benefit from editorial cleanup, which you could contribute to, nicole
11:01 nengard thd is it still there? someone could take that and update it - or lots of someones
11:01 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: nothing stopping anybody from doing it whenever
11:01 chris the coding guidelines on the wiki are a good start
11:02 gmcharlt if we want to do some like making discussing the coding guidliness a stnading agenda item for the general IRC meetings
11:02 gmcharlt we can do that
11:02 tajoli About automatic estraction of info in C4:: ?
11:02 thd I would be willing to contribute to that as well as documenting some arcana with which I am especially familiar.
11:02 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]:codingguidelines
11:03 tajoli And guidelene to write perldoc comment inside them
11:03 thd I may be heading for a time crash lasting a few weeks but I will persevere
11:03 tajoli guidelines
11:03 chris yep, thats in the guidelines already
11:03 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ingguidelines#pod
11:04 gmcharlt well, there's clearly a desire, so I propose that we go ahead and set up the standing agenda item I mentioned
11:04 gmcharlt to make it easier to manage (i.e., to not have it turn into discussions that are not concreate enought to act on)
11:05 gmcharlt I further propose that specific points of change be added to that agenda item each month
11:05 gmcharlt i.e., not to make it completely open
11:05 hdl_laptop gmcharlt++
11:05 gmcharlt but limit it to just 2 or 3 gudineline items a month
11:05 chris sounds like a plan to me, and i think that any ideas should be added to that wiki page and talked about on koha-devel too
11:05 chris lots of people can't make the meetings
11:06 gmcharlt nengard: I don't want to put you off - I agree that a tutorial is a good thing, and I agree that there is a real need for better editorial work and organization on the wiki
11:07 gmcharlt but ultimately, coding guidelines are driving by everybody who is submitting patches, with the caveat that the RM has discretion about rejecting patches that just don't work or don't follow the guidelines
11:08 chris as does QA
11:08 gmcharlt and it is quite possible that we'll have to get to the point that if you are an active contributor and submit a patch that doesn't follow the guidelines
11:08 gmcharlt it will be held over until any problems are fixed
11:09 thd Held over with gentle encouragement for the kittens I presume
11:09 Genji its not the RM or QA's responsibility to make a patch conform to guidelines,  even if the patch is great and successful, if it doesn't conform, back it goes to the patcher?
11:09 chris yep, we have been quite lenient about that in the past, but with the volume of patches now, the RM can no longer fix them
11:09 gmcharlt Genji: generally, yes
11:09 gmcharlt I give more leeway to somebody who is a new contributor
11:10 gmcharlt or who is clearly eager but needs guidance on coding
11:10 chris *nod*
11:10 Colin plus if we fix them all we continue to get rogue patches
11:10 kf tutorials would help here
11:11 kf I think im one of the beginners who will need help to make patches better
11:11 Colin what might help is some good examples (the codebase does not always supply them)
11:11 chris yup
11:11 thd That is the greatest problem
11:11 chris maybe we (you and I) could pick a good patch or 2 each month
11:11 thd Do as is stated not as one sees.
11:12 chris to use as examples
11:12 chris patches of the month :)
11:12 thd chris++
11:12 gmcharlt chris: worth trying
11:12 Genji Back in the long distant past of koha, there was CVS... everyone committed patches to it... and features and some libraries just used a cvs dump to run..if a bad patch or feature went in, and a library dled and ran with the cvs... but now we have Git, RM's and QA's... fantastic.
11:13 gmcharlt and hopefully soon a small army of module maintainers and bug wranglers
11:13 gmcharlt ok
11:13 gmcharlt to sum up
11:13 gmcharlt 1. we'll wait nengard's tutorial (you mean you aren't done yet? ;)
11:13 gmcharlt 2. we'll add a standing agenda item to discuss specific changes to the coding guidelines
11:14 collum If we are working on a file that has code that does not conform to the standards, should we refactor?
11:14 chris only if you do it an separate patch
11:14 gmcharlt collum: yes, but with caveats
11:14 gmcharlt i.e., what chris said
11:14 collum ok
11:15 gmcharlt and if the changes involving more than just textual formats
11:15 gmcharlt adding test cases is a really, really, really, really
11:15 gmcharlt really, really, really
11:15 gmcharlt good idea
11:15 chris :)
11:15 gmcharlt did I say it was a good idea?
11:15 chris larsw will be pestering us all about that
11:15 chris he has been testing test coverage of koha
11:15 chris its about 12%
11:16 chris we need that about 88% higher
11:16 chris or at least 80%
11:16 chris :)
11:17 kf how difficult is it to write test cases?
11:17 magnus a little howto on tests, or a pointer to some good ones, would be appreciated then :-)
11:17 kf magnus++ :)
11:17 Ropuch :)
11:17 chris kf: its actually not too hard, its easier if you do the test first, then write the code so that it passes
11:18 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ment:unit_testing
11:18 gmcharlt ok, then I think we're ready for the final agenda item, setting the time of the next meeting
11:18 magnus chris: nice, hadn't seen that
11:18 gmcharlt 19:00 UTC+0 on 5 May?
11:19 chris thats not quite true anymore, but its a good start
11:19 chris actually most of it is true
11:19 chris gmcharlt: works for me
11:20 thd chris: what is not true?
11:21 chris the directory structure where the tests live
11:21 chris but yeah, have a look in the t dir

12:17 * owen reading the meeting log, offering regrets for being absent
12:18 jwagner There was a meeting?
12:19 nengard i'm having a problem that makes no sense - i can't seem to check out an item to a patron with an overdue item - i don't get a message pop up - just an empty yellow box and there are no errors in the log file ... but i have no preferences set that should stop me from checking the item out .... ideas?
12:19 jwagner nengard, see Bug 4036
12:19 munin Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4036 blocker, P5, ---, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com, ASSIGNED, Two conditions missing from circ template messages: USERBLOCKEDOVERDUE  and USERBLOCKEDREMAINING
12:20 * owen shakes his fist at Bug 4036
12:20 nengard ick - that's a big issue
12:20 nengard grrr
12:21 jwagner I think there are a couple of other related bugs, this was the one that came up in the search.
12:21 kf yes
12:21 jwagner Basically, the system thinks there's a reason not to allow checkout/renewal, but the screen doesn't know what the reason is so it displays the empty box.
12:21 kf bad bug
12:21 * owen likes the "patch of the month" suggestion
12:22 jwagner ?
12:22 nengard but the system does think there is a reason .... so how do i find that reason so i can get the darn thing to let me check out so i can get the screenshots I need??? :)
12:22 nengard jwagner - from the meeting minutes
12:22 jwagner Try a different patron/item?
12:23 nengard did that
12:23 nengard tried lots of combos
12:23 nengard if the patron has at least one item overdue (which I need) then i can't check out
12:24 nengard and if the system thought there was a reason wouldn't it be in the log ... well maybe not if it's not an error - just a reason ... grrr

12:29 kf nengard: I was testing notices and fines and this bug forced me to change all my test cases :(
12:30 nengard kf meaning today is the day the item is due?
12:30 kf yes
12:31 nengard well when i specify to make the due date a diff date it still won't check out
12:32 kf you cant check out to a patron with an overdue book right now
12:32 kf I think the yellow box should be something like
12:32 nengard grrr - okay
12:32 kf this patron has overdoes, still want to check out another book? y/n

12:34 owen Koha has NEVER before blocked a checkout because a patron had overdues. I don't know why it should start now.
12:35 * jwagner speculates, sheer perversity?
12:37 owen Will someone be sending out an official notice of the next Koha General meeting date and time?
12:37 nengard have tricked the system by editing the db directly - not good practice but i need to get this image :)

13:25 paul_p ftherese1, you're right, git doesn't include localized koha. But it includes the translations & the tool to generate them
13:25 ftherese1 salut paul_p
13:25 paul_p look in misc/translator directory
13:26 ftherese1 alors... thanks

13:39 owen Hi cm
13:39 cm hi owen!
13:40 cm do you know if anyone's planning on adding xslt templates for the staff interface?  iirc, they're not in 3.2 yet.
13:40 Nate joined #koha
13:41 tomascohen joined #koha
13:41 owen cm: They are in the latest version, at least for the detail page. Not for the search results page.
13:43 kf cm: I tested them, detail works fine
13:43 cm thanks.  i think the search results page is where i'm missing them the most, though.  there are a couple issues that i think would be easier to fix in xslt, like adding subtitles and the problem with ampersands.
13:44 owen There is some work in progress which should improve display of subtitles.
13:44 owen What problem with ampersands?
13:45 kf Im not sure, but perhaps you could already add a xslt template for search results in 3.2, I think there is a sysprf
13:45 sekjal joined #koha
13:45 kf xslt stylesheet
13:45 cm where they show up as "&amp;"
13:46 owen cm: I don't think I've seen that
13:46 cm the opac search results did the same thing; i submitted a patch that fixed it, though it was probably kind of a hack.
13:46 kf XSLTResultsDisplay Show biblio records on result page in the staff client - I set it on using xslt stylesheet but not sure it changed anything
13:47 * chris_n notes another migration to closed-source LLEK
13:48 cm yeah, i think the sysprefs were changed to separate the xslt templates for the opac & intranet (they were both using the same template at one time), and now the ability is there to have it, but the template doesn't exist.
13:49 owen Exactly.
13:49 owen chris_n: Where?
13:49 * magnus wonders why anyone would choose LLEK at this time...
13:50 owen magnus: Perhaps a library that had been in negotiations with LibLime for a while?
13:50 magnus owen: yeah, probably
13:50 owen Oh here it is: http://www.librarytechnology.o[…]ytext.pl?RC=14685
13:50 chris_n snap
13:51 cm owen:  i think the ampersand issue has something to do with this bug:  http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3326
13:51 munin Bug 3326: normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, xml entity refs display incorrectly in results page if exported and indexed as xml
13:51 cm we're indexing as xml
13:52 owen Okay, that's new to me. What is the difference between indexing as xml and the standard?
13:52 ftherese paul_p: so I need to do something like ./translate install fr-FR?
13:52 ftherese perl that is
13:52 paul_p ftherese, yep
13:53 Sharon left #koha
13:55 cm owen:  you can either store your records as marc or marcxml, and choose to use one or the other with rebuild_zebra.pl
13:55 cm i don't remember exactly why we settled on storing records as marcxml, but i think it had to do with migrating our records from dev_week to koha3

14:21 chris_n it seems that in all of our code-style deliberations we should consider "requiring" the initialization of all vars when they are first defined
14:21 chris_n this would avoid *many* warns in comparisons
14:21 paul_p ftherese, fr-FR, and pls activate it in sysprefs / i18n tab

14:23 paul_p (but it must be fr-FR)
14:23 ftherese so... why won't it let me select fr-FR from the setup menu?
14:23 ftherese after running translate install fr-FR

19:41 cait perhaps you can help me?
19:41 cait i want to add a new index to zebra
19:42 gmcharlt chris: I think there are three new committers for history.txt today
19:42 chris oh cool, i saw the 2 catalysters (donovan and srdjan)
19:42 cait I wonder because /etc/zebradb exists in directory kohaclone (git) and koha-dev
19:42 chris who was the other one?
19:43 gmcharlt Cindy Ames
19:43 cait now not sure where to change it - koha-dev is not in git, but it seems koha uses koha-dev and not files under kohaclone?
19:43 gmcharlt cait: the koha-dev one is the one that is actually used by the Zebra process
19:43 chris ahh awesome
19:43 cait hm, but how do i make my patch when i change files in koha-dev?
19:44 gmcharlt cait: if it's something to submit, you'll have to change both versions
19:44 cait ah ok
19:44 chris gmcharlt: im really happy how many female developers we have .. its nowhere near 50% but its way better than most projects
19:44 cait I plan to submit everything as soon as possible, perhaps some smaller patches and enhancements
19:45 chris yay!
19:45 cait but I still need a lot of time for small things :(
19:45 gmcharlt chris: agreed.  not that we should be resting on our laurels regarding that, of course
19:45 chris yeah, last time i sat on laurel i got a punch
19:45 cait resting on our laurels?
19:46 gmcharlt doh - I walked right into that
19:46 chris its an old saying cait, (but laurel is also my wife's name)
19:46 chris its to do with laurel wreaths isnt it gmcharlt ?
19:46 cait what does it mean?
19:46 chris shouldnt become complacent
19:46 gmcharlt chris: I think so
19:47 chris ie we shouldnt think the job is done
19:47 cait gmcharlt: is there mroe than changing record.abs, bib1.att and properties.ccl and reindex?
