00:00 dcook        Just one more commit and I'll be up to #58 in master...
00:20 pianohacker  dcook: is there a ranking?
00:21 dcook        pianohacker: http://git.koha-community.org/stats/koha-master/authors.html
00:21 dcook        I like numbers?
00:21 dcook        I think you're 45
00:21 pianohacker  yup :) which surprises me, actually
00:22 pianohacker  and there's a huge long-tail effect
00:22 dcook        Very true. I appreciate the long-tail. Makes me feel better about my contributions, even though I have heaps left to do...
00:25 pianohacker  heh, yup. There's always stuff
00:27 pianohacker  dcook++
00:27 pianohacker  regardless of size, all contributions are good
01:04 dcook        Hmm...just thinking about frameworks...
01:05 dcook        If the default framework has every possible field/subfield, except extremely local tags, then all data will be imported properly
01:05 dcook        However, if they edit using the default framework, they can still lose data, if there are fields that are marked as !Editor
01:06 dcook        Collapsed is fine, since they just won't see the data, but if it is hidden from the editor, that data will be tossed when they hit save, since the record is completely rebuilt from the HTML form...
01:07 jcamins      dcook: that's why I tell my libraries that they can add fields to the default framework but not remove them.
01:08 dcook        jcamins: Makes sense.
01:08 dcook        However, it looks like the default framework has at least some fields where all the subfields are hidden from the editor
01:08 dcook        Like the 773
01:09 jcamins      Really? Weird.
01:09 dcook        My thoughts exacctly
01:09 dcook        exactly even
01:09 * jcamins    moves his default framework around.
01:11 dcook        The default should probably be a visibility of "3" rather than "-6"...
01:11 dcook        That way, it's hidden from the OPAC and Intranet, but is present (collapsed) in the editor...
01:11 jcamins      I question the value of hiding anything from the OPAC and intranet.
01:12 jcamins      I mean, it's not like it's not shown.
01:12 dcook        True. It just governs the MARC views when using TT
01:12 dcook        Not really sure how important that is
01:12 dcook        With the exception of non-public notes, perhaps
01:13 jcamins      Since the non-public notes still show up, I'm going to go with "not important at all." ;)
01:13 dcook        O_o
01:14 dcook        That's interesting
01:14 dcook        I was hoping this latest round of framework updates would fix things up for good
01:14 jcamins      Nope.
01:14 dcook        Having all the tags there is handy though
01:14 jcamins      It has nothing to do with the frameworks.
01:15 jcamins      The frameworks are just a list of fields.
01:15 dcook        Well...when I say "for good", I meant more in terms of what I was saying than what you were saying :p
01:15 druthb       o/
01:15 dcook        hey druthb :)
01:15 druthb       Hi, dcook!
01:15 dcook        jcamins: They *should* just be lists of fields, but they're certainly more than that
01:16 jcamins      I meant in terms of functionality.
01:16 dcook        Although they might not govern any result/detail views (especially with XSLT), they still govern that editor view which is pretty important
01:16 dcook        especially in terms of functionality.
01:16 jcamins      The only thing impacted by any setting is the editor.
01:17 dcook        Mmmm.
01:17 dcook        Good point.
01:17 dcook        But then it is useful to sometimes hide fields from the editor
01:17 jcamins      Well, I suppose the "expanded MARC view" is impacted, but... show of hands... how many people use it other than Koha people? None? Right.
01:17 dcook        Or else we would only need one framework
01:17 dcook        Expanded MARC view?
01:17 jcamins      Yeah.
01:18 jcamins      iiI guess you don't use it either.
01:18 jcamins      s/^ii//
01:18 dcook        Possibly not?
01:18 druthb       @later tell bag d00d do you make a habit of keeping old ladies up past their bedtime?  I may be here, give it a shot, or email me.
01:18 huginn`      druthb: The operation succeeded.
01:19 jcamins      I think that proves my point admirably.
01:19 dcook        Might just be a difference of terminology
01:19 mtj          hi all, slightly off-topic but… has everyone discovered angular yet -> http://www.angularjs.org/
01:19 jcamins      mtj: actually, I'm just playing with Angular now.
01:19 jcamins      *Right* now.
01:19 wizzyrea     they use that here some
01:20 jcamins      It seems very, very cool.
01:20 mtj          ...the 'hello world' demo is flippn sweet  -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uFTFsKmkQnQ
01:20 jcamins      dcook: actually, it's the "labeled MARC view," sorry.
01:21 mtj          ^^ it makes jq look cumbersome
01:21 dcook        jcamins: Mmm, I was wondering if that's what you meant. Yeah, I've never seen the point of that at all.
01:21 jcamins      mtj: jQuery *is* cumbersome.
01:22 jcamins      Up until you compare it to plain old Javascript.
01:22 jcamins      At which point you realize that you're okay with jQuery levels of encumberment.
01:22 jcamins      *encumbrance
01:22 dcook        Plain old Javascript...O_O
01:22 mtj          cumberment
01:23 jcamins      dcook: not recommended for DOM manipulation.
01:23 dcook        cumberbatch?
01:23 dcook        jcamins: I would guess not. I think my latest foray into plain old Javascript recently was analyzing the DOM and even that was...less than pleasant.
01:30 mtj          how do people feel about angular being used in koha?
01:33 jcamins      mtj: for the OPAC, absolutely not. For the staff client, I guess I'm not sure what the benefit would be.
01:33 jcamins      Actually, let me rephrase that.
01:34 jcamins      In a perfect world, yes for both.
01:34 jcamins      Given the amount of effort that would be necessary to do it well and with server-side fallback where server-side fallback is needed... I can't see anywhere near enough benefit to justify the amount of time it would take.
01:35 mtj          hmm, why no for the opac?
01:35 jcamins      Because server-side fallback is wildly complex.
01:36 wizzyrea     also there will probably be some suspicion of google.
01:36 jcamins      wizzyrea: that wasn't one of my objections, though.
01:36 jcamins      I'm switching to Angular for Biblionarrator, but there's a lot less code.
01:36 wizzyrea     and is not necessarily one of mine, but it might come up
01:36 jcamins      And I have cheerfully thrown out 300% of the code that there is, so why not make it 400%?
01:44 mtj          ah ok, i wasnt thinking about the server-side part of angular
01:45 mtj          …just as a friendlier replacement for general jquery code
01:46 jcamins      That'd be a heck of a lot of work.
01:47 mtj          heh, yeah, im not actually suggesting we should do that :)
01:52 mtj          tho, i think the big point might be… angular and jquery are quite different?
01:53 mtj          despite having some things in common
01:53 jcamins      They have very little in common, really, other than both being Javascript.
01:54 jcamins      jQuery is a library that does lots of stuff -- well, everything, when you take into account plugins -- and Angular is a framework with a templating and routing system.
01:57 dcook        Quick question for any Koha XSLT whizzes out there...
01:57 mtompset     Greetings, #koha.
01:57 dcook        Does <xsl:with-param name="codes">a_t</xsl:with-param> refer to codes "a" or "t"?
01:57 dcook        I've seen strings like "abcdefgz" but not "a_t"...
01:57 dcook        I suppose I should look at the template..
01:58 jcamins      It's because "at" is translated."
01:58 dcook        is the underscore Koha specific or an XSL thing?
01:58 jcamins      The _ is basically a no-op.
01:58 jcamins      Neither.
01:58 wahanui      neither is running out of time and beeing a nolifer because of all the zebra problems...
01:59 jcamins      It just so happens that _ is not a valid subfield code so it never matches anything.
01:59 dcook        Mmm
01:59 dcook        Tricksy
01:59 mtompset     Greetings, jcamins dcook.
01:59 druthb       Trickssssy little catalogersssss..
01:59 druthb       hi, mtompset! :)
02:00 mtompset     Greetings, druthb. :)
02:00 dcook        hey mtompset
02:00 wahanui      somebody said mtompset was disliking the silent warnings flooding his error logs.
02:01 mtompset     less true right now.
02:01 mtompset     More happier that I've tweaked my external authentication patch to modify LESS files. :)
02:01 mtompset     Put it all in koha-conf.xml :)
02:01 dcook        And we use long strings because the XPATH contains does a substring search of the codes string...
02:01 mtompset     Who needs sysprefs. ;)
02:02 dcook        Thanks, jcamins :).
02:02 wizzyrea     fewer.
02:03 dcook        Happier (minus the more :P)
02:03 dcook        Complimentary gifts always make me wonder as well...
02:04 dcook        Although this morning I was thinking I would probably be happier if I didn't notice spelling and grammar issues in the wild.
02:04 dcook        Who needs commas?
02:04 * dcook      goes back to the XSLT and thanks jcamins once again
02:04 mtompset     dcook: Nah... plus a much... much more happy. :P
02:05 mtompset     wizzyrea: fewer?
02:06 mtompset     how does xslt know that codes is only 1 character wide?
02:06 wizzyrea     mass nouns vs count nouns ;)
02:06 dcook        mtompset, but codes isn't 1 character wide most of the time, me thinks
02:06 wizzyrea     you can count the files, so you modify fewer of them.
02:06 * wizzyrea   goes away again
02:07 dcook        It substring matches the @code attribute against the codes string which is multiple characters wide
02:07 dcook        wizzyrea: Unless they're LESS files rather than less files.
02:07 mtompset     less files [than before]. :P
02:07 wizzyrea     fewer files.
02:07 dcook        I think Sheldon on BBT did a pretty good explanation of fewer vs less.
02:08 wizzyrea     hehe probably
02:08 dcook        My wife used to ridicule me for watching that show...until she watched a few clips herself
02:08 dcook        Although she doesn't think it's funny when I say things like Sheldon :p
02:08 wizzyrea     no, his attitude is only funny coming from him, and when you're not the target of it.
02:09 mtompset     if you can't count the number of files, it's less. :P
02:09 wizzyrea     which actually, makes it kind of antisocial
02:09 wizzyrea     but you can, so it's fewer.
02:09 wizzyrea     ;)
02:09 mtompset     at this hour, I can't count past 3. :P
02:09 wizzyrea     "you" in the general sense
02:10 wizzyrea     I can't speak to your current ability to ^.^
02:10 * dcook      wonders what would happen if the 773 had both an A subfield and a T subfield...probably would just use the first subfield it encountered...
02:10 wizzyrea     and now that I've used up an entire year's worth of grammar naziism, i'm going away again.
02:10 jcamins      Nope.
02:10 jcamins      Both.
02:10 dcook        Mmm, right
02:11 dcook        Because of the template's foreach
02:11 mtompset     wizzyrea: It's okay... It isn't like I'm going to the express lane where it is 12 items or less. ;)
02:11 wizzyrea     they're wrong too :P
02:11 mtompset     I know.
02:15 mtompset     just a second... testing something.
02:16 mtompset     Oh... what time is 10:00 UTC?
02:16 dcook        Hmm, of course...there had to be a time when there is both a A and a T...
02:17 dcook        Interesting...
02:17 wahanui      interesting is, like, sometimes good and sometimes bad
02:17 mtompset     6am... that should be possible, if I go to sleep now.
02:18 dcook        Gotta love the wording of MARC
02:18 dcook        "Main entry heading"
02:18 dcook        Pssh
02:18 dcook        night mtompset?
02:19 mtompset     I think so. :)
02:19 mtompset     Have a good night, jcamins wizzyrea dcook and all lurkers on #koha. :)
02:22 wizzyrea     later, sleep well
02:26 dcook        Hmm, looks like this jcamins fellow might've written the 773 section of MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl
02:26 dcook        jcamins++
02:29 jcamins      IE--
02:39 trea         hey #koha, has anyone seen a problem when trying to view as Card in the z39.50 search results?
02:39 trea         "Could not create file parser context for file "/home/koha/kohaclone/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/ccsr/en/xslt/compact.xsl": No such file or directory at /home/koha/kohaclone/catalogue/showmarc.pl line 62"
02:40 wizzyrea     no but
02:40 wizzyrea     guessing ccsr doesn't have that file
02:40 dcook        Isn't ccsr just for the opac though?
02:41 wizzyrea     yea, that looks like a bad path, actualy
02:41 wizzyrea     with two l's
02:41 trea         ahh, that makes sense
02:57 wizzyrea     does anyone recall a bug where items that are waiting cannot be placed on reserve from the result screen in the OPAC
02:57 wizzyrea     this sounds so familiar to me
03:04 wizzyrea     found it - bug 9774
03:04 huginn`      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9774 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Search results shows "no holds allowed" for items "Waiting"
03:15 bag          evening
03:16 wizzyrea     yay, create a whole bunch of testing users at once! http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/order.php
03:16 wizzyrea     borrowers, patrons, whatever
03:16 wizzyrea     hi bag
03:17 bag          hey wizzyrea
03:17 wahanui      wizzyrea is a fan of selecting hunks for committing.
03:17 wizzyrea     LOL
03:17 bag          hunks as in doods?
03:17 * druthb     reboots her parser.
03:17 wizzyrea     looool
03:18 * druthb     looks for a string of good-looking men in mental institutions all around, with connections to wizzyrea.
03:18 wizzyrea     I didn't know he had that trick up his sleeve
03:19 * wizzyrea   is only married to one hunk
03:19 wizzyrea     and he's not institutionalised.
03:19 cjh          yet.
03:20 wizzyrea     spellcheck++
03:20 bag          trea is a dood hunk
03:20 * trea       blinks.
03:20 cjh          and now he is committed.
03:20 bag          and a fan of himself
03:20 druthb       wahanui: trea?
03:20 wahanui      somebody said trea was a fan of Ender's Game too
03:20 bag          or we a fan's of dood hunks like trea
03:20 trea         i'm not insane. my mother had me tested.
03:21 cjh          heh
03:22 wizzyrea     that was a weird conversation.
03:38 mtj          weird and sexy...
03:39 mtj          its so hard these days, finding a hunk that values commitment
03:47 wizzyrea     ^.^
04:18 dcook        Hmm, anyone having issues doing phrase searches for titles with GMDs in square brackets?
04:18 dcook        Mmm, I think I see the reason again
04:19 dcook        I think jcamins might've outlined this once, but I don't think Zebra (at least with GRS-1) indexes the whole 245
04:19 dcook        Or what I mean is...
04:19 dcook        the melm 245 adds each subfield to the title index
04:19 dcook        Rather than concatenating each subfield together to form one string to put in the title index...
04:28 dcook        http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Understanding_Zebra_indexing#.22Abandon_hope.2C_all_ye_who_enter.22
04:29 dcook        Blegh...
04:29 dcook        I understand the example but that's...blegh
04:41 AmitG        papa around?
04:41 papa         yep, hi
05:12 bag          heya cait
05:12 cjh          cait?
05:12 wahanui      go back to bed, cait.
05:12 cait         hi bag and cjh :)
05:12 cait         cjh: wish i could :)
05:12 cjh          eythian is <reply>go back to bed, eythian
05:13 cjh          wahanui: eythian is <reply>go back to bed, eythian
05:13 wahanui      ...but eythian is great at jokes. That everyone else misses them isn't his problem.|an expert bot trainer...
05:13 cjh          wahanui: eythian is also <reply>go back to bed, eythian
05:13 wahanui      okay, cjh.
05:17 cait         cjh: heh
05:17 cait         eythian?
05:17 wahanui      go back to bed, eythian
05:18 cait         :)
05:18 dcook        hehe
05:24 cait         when is the irc meeting today?
05:24 cait         someone good with timezones? :)
05:24 cait         or did i miss it already?
05:25 dcook        I think it's already past?
05:25 dcook        @wunder sydney, australia
05:25 huginn`      dcook: The current temperature in Sydney Airport, New South Wales is 15.0°C (3:00 PM EST on July 10, 2013). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 64%. Dew Point: 10.0°C. Pressure: 30.47 in 1032 hPa (Falling).
05:25 dcook        For some reason I thought that would have UTC...
05:26 dcook        Or maybe it's in 5 hours..
05:26 dcook        4.5 maybe..
05:26 dcook        cait: Yep, I think it's in 4.5 hours
05:26 cait         oh
05:26 cait         ok
05:27 dcook        Someone did a great job on the OPAC XSLT
05:27 dcook        Of course, it makes my record type facet look terrible now :p
05:31 dcook        Hmm, maybe I'll just change my record type facet to accord with the defs laid out in the XSLT...that could work
05:36 bag          hmmm…  need a bit of logic help
05:37 dcook        Logic?
05:37 dcook        I like logic :D
05:37 cait         too early in th emorning for that
05:37 cait         :P
05:37 bag          I'm creating a script to map leader positions or 008 positions to create itypes for a library that is not automated ...
05:38 bag          but somewhere in my script if the record does not have a 008 - it bombs out
05:38 dcook        Certainly sounds like a logic issue
05:39 dcook        Neat idea, btw
05:39 bag          so I know I need to add a - well SHIT if there isn't a 008 then skip the record dood
05:39 dcook        lol
05:39 bag          but it's just not clear to me at the moment
05:39 dcook        Depends on how you're iterating through your collection of records, I suppose
05:40 dcook        And with what language
05:40 bag          language is bag = dumbass :P
05:41 bag          well I'm just selecting bib number from items  (got items but no itypes)…
05:41 dcook        Not sure I follow..
05:42 bag          then running it through about 30 if eslif (leader 6 = 'a') && (008 = "i") make it this itype
05:42 bag          or just leader 6 = 'c' make it this itype
05:43 bag          but for some reason if there isn't a 008 in the record it doesn't make it down to my final esle - which say nothing found make it UNKONWN itype
05:43 bag          basically dcook it's reading shitty perl by a tired person :P
05:43 bag          heh
05:44 dcook        Are you checking to see if you have an 008 defined before doing that elsif?
05:45 dcook        If not, I'm sure you would get a "008 is not defined..." warning that would stop your script
05:45 dcook        I know I've certainly done that when trying to extract values from a MARC object in Perl
05:47 dcook        Oh my...DisplayOPACiconsXSLT does not make sense...
05:47 dcook        But I don't overly want to fix it at the moment...
05:48 dcook        Bug report!

07:25 dcook        That moment when you spend 15 minutes cleverly figuring out a way to make a Record Type facet match the "Type" of the XSLT...just to realize that you're really just changing the label for the same value: "a"
07:26 dcook        And that there is no reason to have "Book" and "Continuing Resource" when they're both of "Language material" or "Text" type...
07:26 dcook        Oy...
07:33 dcook        All right. Night time.

10:08 wizzyrea     Alright, welcome everybody to the July edition of the Koha IRC community meeting
10:08 wizzyrea     we'll start with
10:08 wizzyrea     #topic Announcements
10:08 wizzyrea     anybody got any?
10:09 oleonard     If anyone hasn't heard, I'm working on a new theme for the OPAC
10:09 wizzyrea     we are running a copy of oleonard's responsive bootstrap opac at responsive.mykoha.co.nz
10:09 cjh          awesome
10:09 kf           wizzyrea: can we send that to the maling list maybe?
10:09 kf           wizzyrea: culd get more libraries involved in testing
10:09 wizzyrea     not really sure about that kf
10:09 oleonard     It's still a work-in-progress, but I'm interested in getting feedback
10:10 thd          oleonard: Is that also fully resizeable with no commitment to particular screen size?
10:10 wizzyrea     thd: you should check it
10:10 oleonard     thd: Responsive, yes
10:10 wizzyrea     ;)
10:10 mtj          hi all
10:10 mtj          #info Mason James, NZ
10:10 wizzyrea     #action Liz will check about sending the responsive demo to the mailing list
10:11 wizzyrea     other announcements?
10:11 wizzyrea     Alrighty then, on to
10:11 wizzyrea     #topic 3.8 update
10:11 wizzyrea     cjh, over to you
10:11 thd          oleonard: just making certain people who believe the world is exactly 960 pixels wide have not been creeping in the back door.
10:11 mtj          #info http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_meeting,_10_July_2013
10:11 cjh          Things have been very quiet since 3.8.14
10:12 cjh          the problem we had with 3.8.14 regarding translations may have a fix, email from bgkriegel that I have to look into, so hopefully 3.8.15 will have some new translations :)
10:12 wizzyrea     you planning a 15?
10:12 kf           thd: I think oleonard has proven he is not one of those people
10:12 wizzyrea     cool, so yes
10:13 cjh          3.10.x hasnt had any more patches since it's last release, so I will have to check bugzilla for that, the translations themselves might justify a 3.8.15.
10:13 wizzyrea     #info 3.8.15, assuming that the translations are fixed, will be on schedule
10:14 cjh          I think that is everything I have worth saying.
10:14 kf           cjh++ :)
10:14 wizzyrea     how are you feeling about retiring the 3.8 line?
10:15 wizzyrea     or, how is *anyone* feeling about retiring the 3.8 line
10:15 kf           hm i think we always said that we will maintain it as long as someone wants to maintain
10:15 cjh          my thinking was that at the 3.14 release I wouldn't continue, so it depends if someone else wanted to carry it on.
10:15 rangi        releases are always maintained as long as someone wants to maintain them
10:16 drojf        will we have packages of older releases at some point?
10:16 slef         #info MJ Ray, software.coop member, England
10:16 wizzyrea     #info cjh thinks he will stop as maintainer for 3.8 after the Pi release
10:16 rangi        drojf: hasnt happened yet
10:16 kf           so i think if cjh is willing to continue until 3.14 that would be nice?
10:17 eythian      drojf: if you want to build and maintain them :)
10:17 drojf        eythian: i don't :)
10:17 eythian      (or, there's sufficient call for them, which hasn't really happened)
10:17 wizzyrea     cjh++, thanks for the update
10:17 cjh          kf: that is the plan :)
10:17 wizzyrea     #topic 3.10 update
10:18 kf           :)
10:18 cjh          I don't think Bernardo is here
10:19 wizzyrea     I think the maintainer is not around - my knowledge of it is that releases are continuing on schedule
10:19 wizzyrea     soo
10:19 wizzyrea     #topic 3.12 update
10:19 wizzyrea     is tcohen about?
10:19 kf           hm might be a little early for him not sure
10:20 wizzyrea     also not, so the same update there as well - releases are continuing on schedule.
10:20 wizzyrea     does anyone have anything they would like to bring up for posterity regarding 3.10 or 3.12 at this time?
10:20 eythian      oh one thing
10:20 wahanui      i think one thing is sure there is no  AllowIssuingForPatronsWithOverdues in C4/Members.pm in the untarred source tree of koha-3.02.01.tar.gz
10:20 kf           tcohen++ bgkriegel++? :)
10:21 oleonard     Hush wahanui
10:21 wizzyrea     continue, eythian :)
10:21 eythian      a minor thing is that 3.12 has a new dependency, so the next release will require a dist-upgrade rather than a normal one.
10:21 eythian      Just making sure it's documented somewhere.
10:21 eythian      (this catches people out whenever it happens)
10:22 wizzyrea     #info 3.12 has a new dependency, it will require a dist-upgrade instead of a normal upgrade for package users
10:22 wizzyrea     cool, thanks eythian
10:22 wizzyrea     speaking of, it's not in the agenda - but
10:22 wizzyrea     #topic packaging update
10:22 wizzyrea     anything to note really?
10:22 cjh          heh
10:23 wizzyrea     besides what is already noted? :P
10:23 eythian      not really.
10:23 wizzyrea     excellent. no news is good news.
10:23 eythian      it's all fine.
10:23 wizzyrea     right - so
10:23 wizzyrea     #topic 3.14 update
10:23 wizzyrea     gmcharlt?
10:23 wahanui      rumour has it gmcharlt is an expert in all things library technology
10:23 wizzyrea     well yes, but is he around?
10:24 wizzyrea     I highly doubt it.
10:24 kf           you know the ninja he is...
10:24 wizzyrea     QA, would you like to say anything?
10:24 kf           might just show up any second out of nowhere
10:24 BobB         :)
10:24 kf           hm i guess the usual: please people, keep testing and test well, sign off and write test plans
10:24 kf           oh and also, try to go beyond the test plan of the developer
10:25 kf           ask yourself what else might break and if the change makes sense
10:25 drojf        i'm german, we follow orders
10:25 kf           shush
10:25 kf           :)
10:25 wizzyrea     #info QA requests "please people, keep testing and test well, sign off and write test plans"
10:25 cjh          kf++
10:25 kf           so nothing new really ;)
10:25 wizzyrea     #info and please try to go beyond the test plan of the developer
10:25 kf           thx wizzyrea :)
10:26 wizzyrea     #info ask yourself what else might break and if the change makes sense
10:26 wizzyrea     How are the queues looking?
10:26 kf           dashboard?
10:26 wahanui      i heard dashboard was at http://dashboard.koha-community.org/
10:26 kf           not too bad
10:26 kf           i think we need someone lookig at unimarc patches
10:27 wizzyrea     #action someone please look at unimarc patches. It's getting a little silly.
10:27 kf           and we have some bigger patches going back and forth
10:27 kf           hey, i didn't say that! :)
10:27 wizzyrea     I did!
10:27 wizzyrea     ;)
10:27 wizzyrea     #info let the record show that it was wizzyrea who proclaimed the level of unimarc patches "silly," not kf
10:28 kf           heh
10:28 mtj          'needs signoff' is quite high, atm
10:28 rangi        nothing in there is very old to
10:28 rangi        tho
10:29 drojf        i think a lot goes in, a lot goes out
10:29 wizzyrea     #info get busy signoffers! only about 3 months left! (ish)
10:29 kf           oh wow true!
10:29 mtj          thats a nice point chris :)
10:29 wizzyrea     yea the turnover seems quite good lately
10:30 wizzyrea     #info nothing in the signoff queue is all too old, so good work on that. Keep it up!
10:30 drojf        we are a productive bunch of people ;)
10:30 rangi        http://bugs.koha-community.org/BAM/index.php?s=Koha&p=Koha&c=
10:31 wizzyrea     ok, if there's nothing else about 3.14 (code name Pi)
10:31 wizzyrea     on to
10:31 mtj          fwiw, 'needs signoff' was very low 3 months ago… such is progress :)
10:31 wizzyrea     #topic Kohacon13
10:31 wizzyrea     3 months ago we released ^.^
10:31 wizzyrea     updates on kohacon? how is the planning going?
10:32 wizzyrea     hm seems no one is around who wants to talk about that eh
10:32 wizzyrea     fair enough -
10:32 BobB         I'll be coming.  We think (at the mo') that Irma may not this time.
10:33 wizzyrea     yes, quick poll, how many in attendance are planning to go to Kohacon?
10:33 BobB         +1
10:33 thd          +1
10:33 rangi        +1
10:33 slef         0
10:33 drojf        0
10:34 kf           what are we voting?
10:34 wizzyrea     0 (lianza instead)
10:34 kf           sorry, got distracted for a sec :)
10:34 rangi        if we are going to kohacon
10:34 wizzyrea     attendance to kohacon
10:34 kf           +1!
10:34 * kf         wants to mention the volunteers page
10:34 kf           http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon13_Volunteers
10:34 eythian      0
10:34 cjh          0
10:35 oleonard     +1
10:35 mtj          0
10:35 wizzyrea     cool, so a few in attendance are going, and it should be a good time :D
10:35 wizzyrea     #topic Kohacon14
10:35 kf           :)
10:36 drojf        i said i'd send a mail to the list asking for proposals, which i did http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2013-June/036518.html
10:36 drojf        i set up a wiki page for the proposals and we already got a first entry by tcohen and bgkriegel for kohacon in argentina http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon2014_Proposals
10:36 kf           I think we got one proposal from argentina
10:36 wizzyrea     ah good someone who has something to talk about!
10:36 kf           I think next step would be setting a date for the vote?
10:36 kf           that might also trigger more proposals
10:36 wizzyrea     when do you want to cut off the proposals?
10:37 wizzyrea     no later than kohacon?
10:37 wizzyrea     or a month in advance?
10:37 drojf        i'd say around kohacon13
10:37 wizzyrea     let's say have the vote a few weeks before Kohacon, so that the organisers can meet and hobnob
10:38 drojf        a few weeks before kohacon is now :P
10:38 wizzyrea     errr
10:38 wizzyrea     it's in october :P
10:38 drojf        so voting beginning of october?
10:38 drojf        that is only a few weeks away ;)
10:39 wizzyrea     yep, and submissions by mid september
10:39 thd          wizzyrea. I think that drojf is correct meaning that you would be setting an impossible case.
10:39 rangi        what?
10:39 BobB         No, Sept is two months away.
10:40 wizzyrea     kohacon14
10:40 rangi        you cant really have the vote after october
10:40 kf           i think another reminder to the list and begining of october/end of september
10:40 rangi        that would make it impossible to actually organise a functional conference (or at least very very hard)
10:40 kf           and make sure we get the voting mechanism and tool sorted way in advance
10:40 wizzyrea     #info submissions due by 15 September, voting to commence first week of October
10:41 drojf        i'd send another mail asking for proposals a little before next meeting so we can have a look at the outcome at the meeting
10:41 wizzyrea     will you do that drojf?
10:41 drojf        yes
10:41 kf           drojf++ :)
10:41 wizzyrea     #action drojf will send a reminder for people to get in their proposals by September 15

10:49 BobB         thd, oleonard I will look forward to meeting you in Reno.
10:49 mtj          wizzyrea++ nice driving
10:49 oleonard     wizzyrea++
10:49 * wizzyrea   only drives because no one else seems to want to :P
10:50 * oleonard   caught a possum in his back yard last night
10:50 thd          I will be pleased to see everyone in Reno.
10:50 * oleonard   wonders what to do with it
10:50 BobB         ???
10:50 BobB         kidding, surely?
10:51 oleonard     Nope.
10:51 thd          oleonard: Build a possum gymnasium.
10:51 oleonard     Live trap, baited with some fruit.
10:51 oleonard     We just got baby bunnies, and we knew some kind of animal had been coming to the back yard.
10:51 BobB         squirrel, p'raps
10:52 thd          Possums are much better gymnasts than baby bunnies.
10:53 drojf        have a possum BBQ?
10:53 * thd        continues sleeping in the darkness where the possums cannot find me
10:53 BobB         http://www.bobinoz.com/blog/4013/possums-and-opossums-australia-and-america-all-explained/
10:53 BobB         You had me going there  :)
10:53 wizzyrea     animal control?
10:54 wizzyrea     possums have those weird ratlike tails
10:54 wizzyrea     and pointy faces
10:55 oleonard     Ah, so Australia has cute possums, America has terrifying devil possums
10:55 rangi        possums are bad wrong and evil
10:55 wizzyrea     they put out poison pellets to kill them off
10:55 wizzyrea     they are quite bad about the birds, I think
10:56 rangi        http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/threats-and-impacts/animal-pests/animal-pests-a-z/possums/
10:56 wizzyrea     now, hedgehogs, on the other hand
10:56 wizzyrea     are adorable pests.
10:56 rangi        they are fine in australia
10:56 rangi        bad in nz
10:56 rangi        we dont have dingos to kill them
10:56 rangi        and they arent cute when they are hissing and clawing their way up your leg
10:56 drojf        i think it's lovely http://cdn.bobinoz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/24359966_819581de1c_o.jpg
10:57 BobB         Anything introduced is generally bad
10:57 drojf        i bet it likes black metal. maybe it is even a black metal singer
10:57 BobB         Cane toads!@!**@!
10:58 rangi        possum + merino = nice clothes
10:58 * wizzyrea   imagines bald possums, shudders
10:58 rangi        http://wearnewzealand.com/fashion-catalogue/possum-merino-knitwear
10:58 rangi        you kills them first
10:58 rangi        serves them right for eating kiwis
10:59 wizzyrea     yes, they should not eat kiwis. :( Kiwis are cute.
10:59 rangi        deer too
10:59 rangi        and rabbits
11:00 rangi        and then the stoats they introduced to kill the rabbits
11:00 rangi        that dude was a genius!
11:00 rangi        http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/threats-and-impacts/animal-pests/animal-pests-a-z/stoats/
11:01 wizzyrea     blarg
11:01 wizzyrea     more cats now too eh
11:01 wizzyrea     ok stoats are reasonably cute.
11:01 wizzyrea     but still vile.
11:02 BobB         good night #koha
11:02 rangi        yeah cats are super bad when you have flightless birds
11:02 rangi        cos cats kill for fun
11:02 oleonard     I'll be back later
11:02 rangi        psychos

12:05 oleonard     Hi #koha
12:08 oleonard     Because I know you were all waiting to see my catch: http://imgur.com/KE19Hxz
12:11 jcamins      oleonard: what is that, and where did you catch it?
12:12 oleonard     It's an American Opossum, and I caught it in my back yard.
12:13 oleonard     (this is why you shouldn't miss meetings jcamins, you miss out on all sorts of stuff)
12:13 jcamins      But you know what I didn't miss out on? I didn't miss out on sleep.
12:32 chris_n      nice catch oleonard; did he hiss much at you?
12:32 oleonard     No hissing, just baring of teeth. He was a very bummed-out possum.
12:33 chris_n      heh, I imagine so
12:37 khall        mornin all!
12:37 khall        oleonard: this patch could use a bit of your UI magic: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10558

12:40 khall        thanks!
12:51 oleonard     khall: What does the OPAC's course reserves search form search?
12:53 khall        oleonard: department, course number, section, course name, term, public note, intstructor
12:53 oleonard     So basically everything :)
12:53 oleonard     Thanks
12:53 khall        pretty much!
12:54 khall        One note: search by instructor has to by "Firstname Surname" or "Surname Firstname"
12:54 khall        I mean "Surname, Firstname"
13:02 drojf        oleonard: great catch. what are you doing with it now?
13:02 oleonard     drojf: Trying to decide whose yard to release it in ;)
13:02 drojf        lol

13:05 oleonard     An Ohio Department of Wildlife official told us that if we caught a raccoon we should shoot it.
13:05 oleonard     ...all us Americans each having a gun, naturally.
13:05 jcamins      oleonard: naturally.
13:05 eythian      he meant with a camera.
13:05 * oleonard   hopes it's legal to shoot a possum with a camera in this state
13:06 * eythian    reports oleonard
13:06 * kf         stops eythian
13:06 kf           we still need him to finish the new theme
13:06 oleonard     I believe the original Joy of Cooking had dressing instructions for possums... it did for other varmints.
13:08 jcamins      oleonard: I think it did, yes.
13:08 kf           hm but wouldn't it just lick off the dressing?

14:35 jcamins      Thanks.
14:45 mtompset     Greetings, #koha.
14:45 mtompset     Slept it too late for the meeting. :(
14:45 mtompset     ^it^in^
14:46 drojf        what is a good (and free, preferably as in freedom) text editor with syntax highlighting (html is enough) for mac os?
14:47 eythian      vim?
14:47 wahanui      well, vim is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/w/index.php?title=Vim
14:48 jcamins      Definitely vim.
14:50 drojf        ...for somebody that starts learning html
14:50 eythian      now you go with the scope creep.
14:50 jcamins      TextWrangler?
14:51 drojf        jcamins: i found that. is it good?
14:52 jcamins      drojf: it's not vim, but other than that it seems fine.
14:52 jcamins      Shari's been using it.
14:52 drojf        looks like it is only free as in beer but i think that will do for the person who is supposed to use it
14:52 drojf        thanks :)
14:55 mtompset     Greetings, jcamins eythian drojf.
14:56 mtompset     Greetings, tcohen.
14:56 tcohen       hi mtompset
14:58 jenkins_koha Starting build #1299 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS)
14:59 mtompset     Okay... feature idea: if a user has catalogue or superlibrarian access they can override the OpacHiddenItems for their branch or completely in OPAC. Good, bad, strange? Feedback anyone?
14:59 eythian      to what end?
14:59 eythian      they can just use the staff client.
15:01 mtompset     To allow patrons who are not staff, but are allowed to see hidden collections to see them.
15:02 huginn`      New commit(s) kohagit: bug 10356: improve display of serial issue dates in staff bib details page <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=97bbf04757227f2a26a6f5b1b216d2bab8efbdc9>
15:03 mtompset     If the patrons were only staff who wanted this, I would agree that the staff client is the way to go, eythian.
15:03 eythian      but if they have those permissions, they are staff.
15:03 eythian      It's the wrong approach anyway
15:04 eythian      If you want certain borrowers to be able to see suppressed thing, create an attribute for borrowers called "can see suppressed things"
15:04 eythian      don't overload something else, especially something important.
15:04 mtompset     so extended attributes, that makes sense.
15:05 tcohen       if it will be on koha's business logic then not an extended attribute
15:05 eythian      dunno about extended attributes specifically, they tend to be less function-oriented.
15:05 eythian      But something.
15:05 wahanui      somebody said something was fishy
15:05 eythian      yeah, what tcohen said
15:06 eythian      I'm wondering about an option in the patron categories settings.
15:06 eythian      so you can apply it to a range of "special" people.
15:06 mtompset     So actually modifying the borrower record for this attribute?
15:06 mtompset     by patron category...
15:06 mtompset     That's possible.
15:06 mtompset     That's cleaner.
15:06 eythian      not the borrower record, the borrower categories.
15:09 drojf        mtompset: but you need a user category for it? in contrast to "show it to people that are logged in, not to those who are not"?
15:10 drojf        i mean, you want to also have users that can login, but not see the hidden stuff?
15:10 drojf        can't form useful sentences after 7 hours in the office
15:11 mtompset     Yes, users could login without seein everything.
15:11 eythian      They have a lot of secret codexes to hide.
15:14 drojf        does OpacHiddenItems really hide the items (and show the biblios)?
15:16 mtompset     I believe so.
15:17 drojf        and that is what you want?
15:17 drojf        if i find a biblio in the opac that has no items i would wonder why it is in the opac in the first place
15:19 drojf        or do you only have secret doublets to hide?
15:20 eythian      I tend to think they should be hidden anyway. Perhaps with conditions that show them, e.g. has an 856 entry.

15:22 eythian      I often confuse those two numbers. Not this time however.
15:24 mtompset     drojf: Yes, that's what I'd want.
15:24 drojf        you have weird secrets
15:24 drojf        and our secrets are more secret than yours apparently :P
15:24 mtompset     Yes, yes we do.
15:24 mtompset     because you don't catalogue them? ;)
15:25 drojf        we suppress the biblio
15:25 drojf        from search results and, coming soon, the detail view
15:29 khall        gmcharlt, rangi, jcamins, et al : I'm working on a Patron Lists feature not dissimilar to the record lists feature Koha already has. I have a namespace question. I've started writing it using patron_lists as the table and Koha::PatronLists as the namesapce. I'm wondering if I should switch to BorrowerLists, however, I'm concerned it seems like lists *for* borrowers, and not lists *of* borrowers. In addition, I like the idea of moving
15:30 jcamins      khall: idea of moving... [cut off here]
15:30 khall        like the idea of moving our internal nomenclature to match our external nomenclature. Any input would be great. I don't have to get all the way done and have to rename everything!
15:30 khall        s/moving/making/
15:30 reiveune     bye
15:32 jcamins      khall: well, I'm the wrong person to ask about nomenclature.
15:32 jcamins      I have had to rename every single class I've written at least once.
15:33 khall        heh!
15:33 eythian      There are two tricky problems in computer science: caching, naming things, and fencepost errors.
15:33 khall        I imagine gmcharlt is the go to for this, but I'm not sure when he'll be around. I guess I'll just push on and worry about it later.
15:35 jcamins      He was here an hour ago.
15:35 eythian      @seen gmcharlt
15:35 huginn`      eythian: gmcharlt was last seen in #koha 1 hour, 14 minutes, and 14 seconds ago: <gmcharlt> oleonard: yep, something I'm playing with -- goal is to have some place to store test plans
15:35 gmcharlt     khall: given the wide disparity of internal naming for patrons in particular, it's not like you have a single example to point to maintain consistency with
15:35 gmcharlt     consequently, using "patron" in the class name is fine with me
15:36 drojf        or you could come up with yet another naming for patrons
15:36 khall        gmcharlt: thanks!
15:36 eythian      "Personages"
15:36 drojf        one we have not covered
15:36 gmcharlt     well, let's not do what drojf suggests ;)
15:36 khall        to nitpick even further: Koha::PatronLists vs Koha::Patron::Lists?
15:37 gmcharlt     khall: more the former; the latter kinda implies that lists are an attribute of a patron, which isn't the case
15:37 khall        drojf:  I suppose we could use Loanees ; )
15:38 khall        gmcharlt: agreed. Thanks for the input!
15:38 drojf        khall: oh that's fantastic
15:38 gmcharlt     another option might be Koha::Container::Patron, or Koha::List::Patron (to go along with a putative Koha::List::Biblio)
15:38 eythian      K::L::P makes more sense to me
15:38 eythian      assuming it's more of a list focus than a patron focus
15:38 khall        yeah, I really like the idea of Koha::List::Patron
15:48 kf           i wonder if sticking with the database names might be good
15:48 kf           patrons is only english.... varies in translation and who knows
15:48 kf           maybe in some years we decide to call them customers
15:49 kf           guests... loaneess...
15:49 kf           :)
15:49 eythian      kf: it's only in some English, too
15:49 kf           yeah
15:49 kf           and i think we have a majority for borrowers still in the dtabase
15:50 gaetan_B     bye!
15:50 kf           and probably the template variables/scripts?
15:50 kf           khall: ping :)
15:56 gmcharlt     kf: indeed
15:57 gmcharlt     "patron" is very common in US (and I believe) Canada
15:58 gmcharlt     whereas "member" doesn't really fit the vast majority of USian libraries -- there are very, very few libraries where getting a library card somehow gives you membership in the organization
15:58 kf           there are various words in german too
15:58 kf           Benutzer, Entleiher, Ausleiher, Kunden...
15:58 gmcharlt     "borrower" is reasonably common and understood, but less commonly used
15:58 kf           i thik we have more members and borrowers in the codebase currently, but that's only a feeling
15:59 drojf        i think "kunden" is horrible in a library context
15:59 gmcharlt     as a point of information, in many contexts, Evergreen calls the equivalent "user" (or "actor.usr") records
15:59 kf           member because i think that's what most scripts do
15:59 kf           and borrowers in the database
15:59 * drojf      heads home
16:00 kf           so i tend more in that direction but i am happy with whatever :)
16:00 * gmcharlt   starts laughing uncontrollably
16:00 gmcharlt     I started taking a look at what syspref names were doing
16:00 kf           lol
16:00 kf           you shouldn't do that
16:01 gmcharlt     and came across this: PatronSelfRegistrationBorrowerMandatoryField
16:01 kf           I protested about that
16:01 kf           :)
16:01 kf           it's on the bug!
16:01 kf           heh
16:02 eythian      gmcharlt: patron sounds quite weird in NZ english.
16:02 gmcharlt     eythian: yeah, I can see that; occassionally a USian will ask "since when does a public library get contributions from the nobility?"
16:02 kf           hm how can i see if something is deleted as a cascade in mysql workbench... does someone know?
16:03 kf           on cascade
16:03 eythian      gmcharlt: yes, that's my first definition too.
16:04 jcamins      kf: show create table
16:05 kf           hm i will try that :)
16:06 kf           hm i did try for borrowers
16:06 kf           and i see nothing
16:06 kf           is there nothing or is it me?
16:06 kf           i was wondering about reviews, ratings, borrower_attributes etc
16:07 eythian      the cascade appears on the side that would be cascaded to
16:07 eythian      compare biblio->biblioitems->items

16:13 kf           eythian: thx
16:13 kf           sorry, dumb wednesday i think
16:14 kf           we do cascade for ratings :)
16:16 kf           hm
16:16 kf           we don't for search_history
16:16 kf           interesting.
16:16 wahanui      interesting is probably sometimes good and sometimes bad
16:18 oleonard     Be careful to attribute to design what is more likely due to forgetfulness or laziness.
16:20 kf           oleonard: totally true
16:20 kf           i am pondering filing a bug for that
16:23 gmcharlt     about that -- if we add a FK constraint, do we want it to casacde on delete or set null?
16:23 eythian      it depends totally on what it is
16:24 gmcharlt     the latter would have the effect of anonymous the search history of a deleted patron, while still leaving it available for the library to data-mine
16:24 eythian      If that's a meaningful thing to do (which for search I'd say it is) then I'd say just set null
16:24 eythian      or you might even not have an FK at all
16:24 gmcharlt     which is the status quo
16:25 eythian      right, if it's useful to know that they were separate borrowers, even if you don't know who they are, then not havin gthe FK might be the best way.
16:25 kf           i think you could argue either way
16:25 jcamins      Hmm. If I always buy the cheap soba noodles, does that mean I'm making copy pasta for lunch?
16:25 kf           anonymizing should take those table into accounts i think
16:25 gmcharlt     jcamins++
16:25 eythian      or maybe you want to link them up to deleted_borrowers (is that a thing?)
16:25 kf           i will have to come up with sql to delete patron data according to our privacy documentation... and it's all over the place
16:26 kf           the patron data.
16:26 eythian      that's the nature of normal forms :)
16:26 kf           jcamins: lol
16:26 kf           eythian: yeah yeah... i know

17:10 kf           bye all
17:12 mtompset     Oooo... gmcharlt you gave me another idea.
17:12 * gmcharlt   cowers
17:12 gmcharlt     ;)
17:12 mtompset     well, first to test a DBIx run.
17:12 * druthb     runs and hides
17:13 mtompset     second... why limit 1 if where false works.
17:19 * mtompset   really appreciates the feedback and ideas the Koha community generates. :)
17:20 * mtompset   throws skittles at druthb while druthb runs away. :P
17:20 druthb       !
17:21 mtompset     For the one time you randomly threw them at me. :P
17:21 mtompset     SWEET!
17:21 druthb       I've only chucked Skittles at you once?
17:22 mtompset     Thankfully, yes.
17:22 * druthb     must remember to do that more often.
17:22 mtompset     That would be a strange way to show friendship. :P
17:22 pianohacker  I like skittles
17:22 mtompset     SWEET! The "WHERE 1=0" works!
17:23 mtompset     and it is obviously faster than the LIMIT 1. :)
17:23 gmcharlt     Skittles for EVERYBODY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh-IsQ6XCyg
17:24 mtompset     and WHERE 1=0 is ANSI SQL!
17:24 mtompset     YAY! no extra function call or if's.

18:22 pianohacker  hey #koha, bibliographic format bikeshedding time, if you're interested
18:23 pianohacker  working on an SRU proxy for ebook providers, and I'm currently using dublin core (plus a namespaced extension for koha-specific stuff) as a simple generic metadata format
18:23 pianohacker  any objections, better ideas?
18:24 pianohacker  jcamins, gmcharlt: would be especially interested in your input
18:24 jcamins      No objection from me.
18:25 jcamins      I'm not particularly pro-DC, but in this case you're presumably not getting anything richer than ONIX, so it would seem to make sense, and MODS would be a lot more overhead.
18:25 pianohacker  okay. dublin core isn't perfect, very limited set of information, so any more comprehensive alternatives that aren't as complex as MARC would be welcomed :)
18:26 jcamins      Well, MODS is at least moderately more sensible.
18:26 jcamins      Or you could leapfrog the competition!
18:26 jcamins      bibframe?
18:26 wahanui      https://d2tq98mqfjyz2l.cloudfront.net/image_cache/1372102329503089_animate.gif
18:26 gmcharlt     pianohacker: as a least-common-denominator, it's possible that DC may be the best that you could do, though MODS might be better if the underlying data can support it
18:27 gmcharlt     on a broader note, though -- I think a bit more visibility is warranted for this sort of discussion -- i.e., koha-devel
18:27 pianohacker  hrm, yeah. I'll send out a note
18:27 gmcharlt     as snap judgments in IRC may not yield the best answers
18:27 pianohacker  I don't know if I can make MODS work in this context, as the underlying JSON is... bare-bones
18:28 jcamins      pianohacker: DC can be converted to MODS.
18:28 cait         hi #koha
18:28 jcamins      It'd just be kind of pitiful MODS.
18:30 pianohacker  jcamins: Do you know of any pitiful-MODS examples? :) MODS is not an easy thing to google...
18:32 jcamins      pianohacker: I'd just convert a DC record to a MODS record.
18:32 pianohacker  fair enough. thanks
18:33 pianohacker  I'd love it endlessly if some kind of standard format came back from these, but my expectations of technical competence from ebook vendors have gone down _drastically_ in the past month or two
18:34 mtompset     greetings, cait pianohacker. :)
18:34 pianohacker  hey mtompset
18:34 wahanui      mtompset is disliking the silent warnings flooding his error logs.
18:34 gmcharlt     one of the reasons why I giggle when library folks talk about ONIX in terms that make it sound like publishers never mess it up
18:34 mtompset     Again not so true. More like happy due to pure ANSI SQL goodness. :)
18:38 pianohacker  oh wow. ONIX is interesting but seems to have even more overhead than ONIX...
18:39 gmcharlt     pianohacker: recursive data formats generally are ;-P
18:39 pianohacker  ...
18:39 pianohacker  wtf did I just type
18:39 gmcharlt     heh
18:39 pianohacker  *more overhead than MODS
18:40 pianohacker  this feels like a describe-everything-ever syntax that would be _incredibly_ painful to work with in practice
19:24 * mtompset   is frustrated by DBIx.
19:25 mtompset     Back to what I should be working on.
19:29 jcamins      pianohacker: apropos of nothing, do I recall hearing that you were going to be revisiting your Connexion-esque MARC editor interface?
19:30 pianohacker  yes! that's my next project, currently waiting on client feedback before I get started
19:30 pianohacker  can't wait, have wanted to make it a full, powerful editor for years now
19:31 pianohacker  won't have as interesting a data model as biblionarrator, but should be much better than koha's current marc editor
19:32 pianohacker  it even has a top secret codename, it has to be good
19:32 jcamins      Well, given that you can't jetison MARC, you're kind of limited in the creativity of data structures.
19:32 jcamins      *jettison?
19:32 jcamins      Yeah, two 't's.
19:32 cait         ooh super secret name?
19:33 jcamins      Operation Stop Librarian Teeth Gnashing is GO GO GO!
19:33 pianohacker  hahahah yeah
19:33 pianohacker  you should listen to nengard describe the current interface
19:34 jcamins      I daresay she's probably someone more diplomatic and polite than I am. ;)
19:34 pianohacker  she really hates it about as much as you can without insulting someone's mother
19:35 * jcamins    crosses that line.
19:36 cait         heh
19:36 cait         our libraries are mostly not using it
19:36 cait         becuse noone here actually catalogs marc :P
19:36 oleonard     The interface has not changed significantly since it was introduced over 10 years ago.
19:37 oleonard     People have loved to hate it pretty much all that time.
19:37 cait         pianohacker: i should explain they use the software from the union catalog for cataloguing and then we sync
19:37 cait         pianohacker: but i'd love to keep a simple form based interface for fast adds etc.
19:37 cait         oleonard++ :)
19:37 pianohacker  oleonard: Yeah, pretty much
19:38 pianohacker  cait: Yeah, the current plan, to my knowledge, is to have the interface choice selectable by user
19:38 oleonard     The fact that it hasn't been updated is testimony, I assume, to the difficulty of the task?
19:38 jcamins      oleonard: and the tragedy of the commons.
19:38 jcamins      Which reminds me.
19:38 jcamins      My music stopped.
19:38 cait         pianohacker: that sounds good - but maybe even make it possible to switch?
19:39 cait         pick a stanard, but make it possible to switch
19:39 pianohacker  oleonard: I'd say so. My hacked-together text MARC editor was a hell of an effort, and that didn't support authorities, broken-out fixed fields, any number of things...
19:40 pianohacker  cait: yeah, most likely. Not sure how much the client wants, but I'll try to make it easy to expand that later if needed
19:44 cait         k
19:44 cait         maybe ask them about fas cataloguing ;)
19:44 cait         :)
19:45 pianohacker  worth a shot. what is the union cataloging interface you mentioned like?
19:46 cait         hm tht is text based, but not marc
19:46 cait         some internal format, using four number codes for fields and subfields like marc
19:48 cait         i think opinions about it vary too :)
19:48 cait         probably not possible to build a cataloguing interface everyone likes
19:53 jcamins      You know what'd be really cool? Some sort of coherent editor API so that people could add their own.
19:53 cait         :)
19:53 * jcamins    can think of...
19:53 jcamins      zero...
19:53 jcamins      librarians who would take advantage of it.
19:53 jcamins      But it'd be cool.
20:01 pianohacker  jcamins: We're halfway there, with the scripts in /svc/
20:02 pianohacker  Really we just need something to dump framework information and we're there
20:02 jcamins      pianohacker: and something to handle items.
20:02 pianohacker  ah, true
20:02 jcamins      I didn't think that the /svc/ scripts coped with items.
20:03 rangi        we extended it to do that im pretty sure
20:03 rangi        slef and papa did
20:03 jcamins      Oh, cool.
20:03 jcamins      I must've missed that.
20:04 jcamins      I had looked at the /svc/ API for my cataloging interface, and I'm pretty sure I ultimately decided to just not use items.

22:04 mtompset     svc? Did someone say svc scripts?
22:04 mtompset     pianohacker: What are you doing with svc scripts? :)
22:07 pianohacker  mtompset: ah, we were talking about whether you could make an external MARC editor with them
22:07 pianohacker  consensus was you could. I think all that could be missing is frameworks
22:07 mtompset     That would be a cool idea!
22:07 pianohacker  yup. The MARC editor I'm going to be working on soonish will be more integrated than that, but it is a cool idea

23:24 pianohacker  hey dcook
23:24 dcook        hey pianohacker
23:24 wahanui      I HATE XML
23:24 dcook        lol
23:24 pianohacker  yup yup
23:24 pianohacker  he speaks the truth
23:24 pianohacker  how's it going, dcook?
23:25 dcook        Mmm, not too bad. Reading about OOP, hopefully renewing a lease, and looking at XSLT in a moment :p
23:25 dcook        How about you?
23:26 mtompset     hey pianohacker?!
23:26 wahanui      I HATE XML
23:26 mtompset     Why did you program wahanui to say that, pianohacker?
23:27 pianohacker  because I hate XML :) (it is of course more nuanced than that, but wahanui isn't good at nuance)
23:27 pianohacker  and with that, I'm gonna skedaddle
23:27 pianohacker  bye all
23:27 dcook        see ya pianohacker
23:27 mtompset     bye? But you left me hanging. :P
23:27 mtompset     What's the nuance? :P
23:27 pianohacker  mtompset: ask me again tomorrow :) It's also in the logs somewhere
23:27 mtompset     Greetings, dcook. :)
23:28 wizzyrea     the superlibrarian really ought to be able to edit all lists regardless of owner.
23:28 wizzyrea     edit/delete
23:28 wizzyrea     there may be a bug about that somewhere.
23:28 wizzyrea     but I just felt the need to rant.
23:32 dcook        wizzyrea: I couldn't agree more.
23:32 dcook        I think I've had that same rant.
23:32 dcook        hey, mtompset :)
23:33 wizzyrea     and even better, apparently there was a bug at some point that set the owners to NULL, so there are lists existent that cannot be edited by anyone?!
23:33 mtompset     woo hoo!
23:33 mtompset     That was a sarcastic woo hoo. ;)
23:34 dcook        Hmm, I think that bug is still alive and well in 3.8.0
23:34 dcook        I recently had to change the owner of a list in the DB because the owner had been deleted and thus the owner nullified
23:34 wizzyrea     oh that must be what happened here
23:35 dcook        I'd sign off a patch that made superlibrarians overlords of lists
23:35 dcook        bug 9833
23:35 huginn`      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9833 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, matthias.meusburger, Failed QA , New virtual shelves/lists permissions
23:36 dcook        I suppose if there were a "manage_shelves" permission...the default would be for the superlibrarian to have that permission (or not need it)
23:37 wizzyrea     oh it's in fail qa that doesn't seem right
23:39 dcook        That is a bit confusing...I can't tell if Marcel passed or failed it based on the comments..
23:39 dcook        Although it does look like he's asking for some changes?
23:39 wizzyrea     then he attached a patch...
23:40 dcook        Yeah, I'm confused by that
23:40 wizzyrea     but it looks like it's the same?
23:40 * wizzyrea   looks more
23:41 dcook        I think it might be the same, but I'm not sure
