| 11:21 | owen | kados: give me a holler if you get a moment | 
| 11:27 | kados | owen: yo | 
| 11:27 | owen | Hey. | 
| 11:27 | Okay, say I have 3 virtually identical MARC records and I want to merge them | |
| 11:28 | kados | hehe | 
| 11:28 | chris has a new editor for doing that | |
| 11:28 | owen | I figured it had to be in the pipeline | 
| 11:28 | kados | yea, definitely | 
| 11:29 | it's really slick, just in acceptance testing now | |
| 11:29 | for the library that sponsored it | |
| 11:29 | hdl | hi | 
| 11:29 | kados | hey hdl | 
| 11:29 | hdl | is there a url for new marc editor ? | 
| 11:29 | owen | But until then... I can manually update the biblionumber in items, right? | 
| 11:30 | kados | owen: yea, that should work | 
| 11:30 | owen | What about biblioitems? | 
| 11:30 | kados | wait | 
| 11:31 | yea, you can delete from biblio, biblioitems the duplicates, then change the biblionumber on items | |
| 11:31 | then re-index zebra | |
| 11:32 | to remove the duplicate from the index | |
| 11:33 | hdl: don't think there's a URL, and it's not really a 'new marc editor', just a new feature for the existing one | |
| 11:33 | hdl: (we do badly need a new marc editor though :/) | |
| 11:34 | hdl | yes. | 
| 11:35 | But quite hard to manage if we are to be Norm (MARC, MODS, DC, ONIX,...) independant + flexible as it was !!! | |
| 11:37 | (kados : that could be managed via frameworks...) | |
| 11:38 | kados owen : consider updating the marc datas with items data. | |
| 11:38 | or MARC and NON-MARC won't be consistant. | |
| 11:39 | kados | ? | 
| 11:39 | hdl: not sure I understand | |
| 11:41 | hdl | I think that in your process to merge items into a biblio, you donot update MARC datas, I think it may be dangerous. | 
| 11:42 | kados | hdl: in dev_week, items table is authoritative for items data, and the MARC data is updated automatically | 
| 11:43 | hdl: updated by a batch process update_items.pl | |
| 11:43 | hdl | (managing all those versions is a nightmare) | 
| 11:44 | owen | kados, do I remember that with zebra you have the capability to query it from an external source and have it return xml or something like that? | 
| 11:44 | kados | owen: yep, and in zebra 2.0 you can even hand it xslt and it will do transformations as well | 
| 11:45 | owen | Can you tell me a little about how that works? | 
| 11:46 | kados | owen: &XMLgetbiblio in Biblio.pm | 
| 11:46 | wait, nevermind | |
| 11:46 | that's pulling from biblioitems | |
| 11:47 | owen | For instance, could a PHP script on another server send a request to zebra and get a result set back? | 
| 11:47 | kados | sure | 
| 11:48 | for about an hour | |
| 11:49 | owen | Okay, whenever you get time I'd appreciate it. | 
| 11:49 | kados | sure | 
| 12:05 | owen | Hi tnb | 
| 12:05 | tnb | owen: hi :) | 
| 12:06 | owen: thanks for coming to APL yesterday for the visit | |
| 12:06 | owen | My pleasure. I hope the rest of the meeting went well | 
| 12:06 | I always enjoy talking about Koha | |
| 12:08 | tnb | i think things went really well. We talked for about 5 hours more, so i think we covered about everything :) | 
| 12:08 | owen | kyle around, by any chance? | 
| 12:09 | tnb | I just hopped on, so i haven't seen him | 
| 12:09 | owen | It sounded like they had a potentially very complex system to do. | 
| 13:50 | hdl | kados around ? | 
| 13:50 | kados | hdl: yep | 
| 13:51 | hdl | Do you actually use devweek ? | 
| 13:51 | kados | ? | 
| 13:52 | hdl | I saw some posts But when updating, it doesnot checkout many files. | 
| 13:53 | s/sill/ will | |
| 16:43 | owen | kados: yes it's a bug! 30E <-- bug emoticon | 
| 16:47 | chris | morning |
