| 15:54 | kados | chris around? |
| 21:31 | I know what you mean | |
| 01:29 | jaredj | has anyone tried to reimplement koha in another language? |
| 01:29 | or tried to do a huge refactoring? | |
| 01:31 | kados | Koha is multi-language ... what do you mean by 'refactoring'? |
| 01:33 | jaredj | sorry i mean source language - not natural language |
| 01:34 | 'refactoring' is making changes to the code that don't result in changes of behavior | |
| 01:36 | for example i like koha but i think the whole process of getting data from tables and sticking it into hashes isn't centralized enough | |
| 01:36 | so i want to make a module that does that, and change all of the scripts to use it | |
| 01:37 | or i like koha but i wish it were written in python, so i rewrite it | |
| 01:37 | to have the same functionality and use the same database but be written in python | |
| 01:47 | rach | there have been a couple of people do that |
| 01:47 | but they basically re-released it as different software | |
| 01:48 | jaredj | you'd have to i guess |
| 01:48 | rach | open book was one of those projects, it put Koha into PhP, but the process of doing that changed it so much, it wasn't really the same thing anymore |
| 01:48 | jaredj | ah yes i forgot about that |
| 01:48 | rach | and inevitabley they figured they could just make a few more mods, add some different features |
| 01:48 | and voila, a new product :-) | |
| 01:48 | jaredj | even with no mods it's still not koha |
| 01:49 | rach | people have changed databases without problem, so used Oracle for example instead of mysql |
| 01:49 | but that's a bit different | |
| 01:49 | jaredj | that's nice. |
| 01:49 | yeah that's easier | |
| 01:49 | sigh i'd kinda like to mess around with ruby objects rather than perl hashes | |
| 01:50 | but i know i'd be the only one doing it | |
| 01:50 | rach | Pat was keen on Ruby |
| 01:50 | jaredj | (i.e. the koha community would stay with koha and i haven't got a community) |
| 01:50 | heh ok mayyybe two of us :) | |
| 01:51 | i think i'm in the rather rash stage of observing the way koha does things from the outside | |
| 01:52 | rach | sure |
| 01:53 | koha has been under pretty active development, adding lots of features etc | |
| 01:53 | jaredj | t |
| 01:53 | rach | I would wait a bit before starting on a project like you're thinking of |
| 01:53 | jaredj | oh don't worry |
| 01:53 | rach | so that all the bugs etc are sorted, |
| 01:54 | rather than converting some duff stuff as well as the goodies | |
| 01:54 | jaredj | i'd rather help koha than fork off |
| 01:55 | speaking of help - the npl templates r0xx0r imo | |
| 01:55 | only seen the opac yet tho | |
| 01:55 | rach | I haven't seen them |
| 01:56 | our installation isn't up and running yet | |
| 01:57 | jaredj | 2.2? |
| 01:57 | rach | yep |
| 01:58 | jaredj | i'm working on one right now |
| 02:00 | aw. they don't seem to be css-ful | |
| 02:06 | rach | ? |
| 02:06 | what the npl templates? | |
| 02:07 | jaredj | yes |
| 02:08 | i really like their layout - and their colors for that matter... | |
| 02:08 | but i'll have to see just how much i can tweak the css templates. although i've seen a bug in them already | |
| 02:09 | whoops, heh | |
| 02:09 | the "suggest a purchase" link in the npl templates goes to NPL's site | |
| 05:43 | rach | bon jour paul |
| 05:43 | paul | hello rach |
| 05:43 | good evening | |
| 05:43 | rach | good morning |

| 05:44 | paul | fine, thanks |
| 05:44 | (only 1 pb : i'm 37 since yesterday ;-) ) | |
| 05:49 | rach | woo |
| 05:49 | did you have a party? | |
| 05:49 | paul | we had a luch with friends. and today, my wife and me have planned a dinner without childrens. |
| 05:50 | that will be enough with a 3 months baby ;-) | |
| 05:55 | rach | :-) |
| 05:55 | that is a good present indeed | |
| 05:56 | and I have a request to do a wee article for http://www.dlib.org | |
| 05:56 | mind you I haven't heard of them | |
| 05:57 | http://www.katipo.co.nz/ | |
| 05:57 | http://www.katipo.co.nz/about-[…]r1105347306.shtml | |
| 05:57 | I'll get that proofed and expanded out a bit | |
| 05:58 | so you can thank your libraries would be good | |
| 05:58 | paul | what kind of quote ? |
| 05:59 | how many lines ? | |
| 05:59 | rach | 2 sentances |
| 05:59 | or do a paragraph and I can take something from it | |
| 06:00 | paul | OK, i'll send it today. If you don't have it in your mailbox, send me a mail. |
| 06:00 | rach | thank you |
| 06:00 | much appreciated | |
