08:59 oakivil what if my lib was to build a module to speed up cataloguing component parts and implement multipart biblios in native OPAC?
09:00 any ideas how much time it would take?
09:00 kf depends on what you want to do entirely I think
09:01 oakivil so if you have defined MARC21 field 773/w to point to some other record's  001 field, it would automatically be display in OPAC as a child
09:01 kf hm
09:01 there was some development to do that on an item level
09:01 oakivil so when you select the parent item with 001, you can see all its siblings
09:01 kf perhaps you want to look at that
09:01 but I think your solution might bemoer on the title level like oursß
09:02 oakivil well it wouldnt matter what the topmost item is
09:02 book or set or audio or whatnot
09:02 its all about the relationship, if it exists
09:02 kf there is an rfc on the wiki and some code
09:02 only thinking about it now - sorry
09:02 it's for analytics
09:03 oakivil links?
09:03 kf so on the analytic record the item from the serial/mother record shoes

10:25 juan_sieira_ Hi #koha
10:25 is there any function or .pl to show a MARC view of an authority?
10:28 kf juan_siera: what do you want to do?
10:28 in opac you can activate an authority browser, searching there will give you a marc view in the details
10:29 there is not erally a normal view for authorities - the list ist readable, but the details are always showing the marc fields
10:29 in intranet you can also search for authorities
10:31 juan_sieira_ yes, but, librarians want to show a marc view of an authority, for example, when you are cataloguing, search for an authority
10:31 like when searching for z3950, in cataloguing module
10:49 nengard joined #koha
10:50 juan_sieira_ kf: there is nothing about it in koha. I did it for authorities
10:51 kf sorry phone call
10:53 mib_kt4960 left #koha
11:13 druthb left #koha
11:17 kf juan_sieira_: still not sure I understand it correctly - you could add a link to the plugin in cataloging (if there is none already) to the authority record in the authorities module
11:19 juan_sieira_ when you are cataloging, and searching in Z3950, in the list of biblios you can view it as card, marc ...
11:20 like this, I want to view the same in authorities list, when I do a search for authorities, in cataloguing, the window that is open when I do a clic in "..." link
11:20 Marc view
11:21 kf hm
11:21 sounds like a new feature to me
11:21 I think we have no different views for authorities at the moment - it's always kinda marc
11:22 perhaps you can do it using the same thing used for the biblio records
11:25 druthb joined #koha

11:27 kf jcamins_away: around?
11:28 jcamins_away kf: yes.
11:28 jcamins_away is now known as jcamins
11:28 jcamins Good morning.
11:28 kf ah hi :)
11:28 nengard left #koha
11:29 kf I wondered if you can tell me something about cataloging oil paintings, coins, medals and other things in marc21
11:29 hard or doable? perhaps some hints?
11:29 jcamins I didn't catalog realia in MARC21, but definitely doable.
11:30 kf hm ok
11:30 jcamins The 245$h is [realia]. The relevant chapter in AACR2 is chapter 10.
11:30 kf so you don't know if koha will display the fields needed?
11:31 AACR2 - I have stayed away from that
11:31 jcamins I do not.
11:31 kf is it online?
11:31 jcamins Ah, true, you have German cataloging rules.
11:31 Not unless you're paying a fortunate for access.
11:31 kf will ask my coworker, she perhaps has it in print
11:32 jcamins If you have access to OCLC, you could download a record for an asteroid, see if everything shows up. :)
11:32 Ropuch joined #koha
11:33 * jcamins doesn't know which record that is, alas.
11:34 jcamins But there's definitely a record for an asteroid in OCLC.
11:37 nengard joined #koha
11:44 kf jcamins: do you have the oclc number?
11:44 ah, shoudl read all
11:44 and yes, we have it in print
11:44 but there it's lacking marc field numbers and categories... so I put it back on shelf quickly
11:45 and we found some paintings in our union catalog using 245$h and 300 for dimensions, looks doable
11:45 jcamins kf: hm, yes. That's true.

12:27 oakivil ok, so how do I add this Analytic record support -module to my Koha install?
12:27 jcamins oakivil: if you mean the module from OSS Labs, they have to provide the code.
12:28 oakivil http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5528
12:28 huginn 04Bug 5528: enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Analytical records support
12:28 oakivil this is what i mean
12:28 I just dl:d the git-source
12:28 and now I'm trying to figure it out.
12:28 jcamins oakivil: that won't work with 3.4, so far as I know.
12:29 oakivil ok
12:29 jcamins They're rebasing.
12:29 I could be mistaken.
12:29 oakivil would have been nice to test it out and see what has been done
12:29 do you know how can i contact the author?
12:30 kf there might be still a branch on git for it?
12:30 not 3.4 but perhaps ok for testing
12:30 oakivil i got the git-source
12:30 but its such a pain to install it :D
12:30 kf hm, when you have a git install all you have to do it a git checkout
12:30 and drop recreate your database
12:30 jcamins oakivil: having the source is probably not going to help.
12:31 oakivil: if I understand correctly where things are, that is still using HTML::Template::Pro.
12:31 kf jcamins: yes, I tested this and I failed it - not sure my descriptions make sense. Basically it listed the wrong items in the wrong letters.
12:31 ah right
12:33 oakivil the wiki description sounds brilliant, but I have no idea how much of it has been implemented. I cant just say that this module will solve our problems without testing it first
12:34 kf the description on the wiki was done by ian - implemented from another company
12:34 so there might be some differences
12:34 jcamins oakivil: it's a nifty feature, but it's not nearly as fully-featured as the RFC.
12:34 At least, that was my impression.
12:34 oakivil ok
12:34 thats good to know
12:35 hmm so maybe it is 40% complete?
12:35 kf I think you are right jcamins
12:35 the wiki implementation was more general too
12:35 wiki descpription
12:35 oakivil wiki implementation was quite good
12:35 kf I think to amke this work for sets / general relationships t owuld need some more work
12:35 oakivil very well thought out
12:35 kf sekjal++
12:35 read hourly loans - that's coming and a good read too :)
12:36 jcamins The people who worked on it always insisted that everything worked, though, and never gave any instructions on installing it properly, so there is the possibility that everything they claim was written, and I just don't know how to install it.
12:37 The analytic module by OSS Labs does not offer a basis for arbitrary bibliographic relationships.
12:38 oakivil ok
12:39 but i expect the authorities module to work flawlessly
12:39 its such a simple piece it seems
12:39 jcamins oakivil: hehehe!
12:39 oakivil wrong again :)
12:39 just lists of words
12:40 how can someone screw that up?
12:40 or am i totally wrong?
12:40 oleonard How hard can it be to program an ILS, right? It's just a database.
12:40 oakivil haha
12:40 not talking about ils, but authorities
12:41 kf yes, but a database with insane rules... (quoting rangi here)
12:41 @quote 123
12:41 huginn kf: I'll give you the answer as soon as RDA is ready
12:41 jcamins @quote get 123
12:41 huginn jcamins: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
12:41 kf thx :)
12:41 oakivil: what's the problem with authorities?
12:42 oakivil i was just asking that :D
12:42 is there a problem?
12:42 I presume not
12:43 jcamins oakivil: authority control presently requires that the numeric authid be embedded in the bibliographic record.
12:43 collum joined #koha
12:44 oakivil so you embed only the authId not the value of authId?
12:44 tcohen joined #koha
12:44 oakivil in marcxml?
12:44 kf hm, I think what you mean is that the auth_id from the auth_headers table must be = 001?
12:45 we cheated a little there
12:46 jcamins kf: no, I mean in the bib record, a subject heading looks like this:
12:46 =650  00$aTransportation$xTrains.$9123
12:46 kf yep, should be $0
12:47 but koha is older than $0 is
12:47 oakivil now im not following?
12:47 jcamins kf: either way, it's dumb. :P
12:47 kf it's not a mistake to use unique number for identifying records
12:47 I disagree :)
12:48 jcamins No, but it's a mistake to not be able to work with any bibliographic records not produced in Koha.
12:48 kf oakivil: authorities could be better integrated, but basic features work
12:48 ok
12:48 jcamins Remember, there's no working linker.
12:48 kf but I think that could be fixed by using better import scripts
12:48 oakivil is $9123 a auth_id?
12:48 kf oakivil: yes
12:48 jcamins 123 is the authid. $9 is the subfield marker.
12:48 kf the number of the authority record
12:48 oakivil but thats fucked up :)
12:48 kf no it isn't
12:48 * kf grumbles a little ,)
12:49 oakivil but when you export the marcxml you need to parse them
12:49 jcamins kf: the principle isn't. It's just the lack of a working linker.
12:49 kf ok, perhaps we can agree on that :)
12:49 oakivil then again
12:49 kf and I would like to see it moved to $0 - to match the standard
12:49 oakivil if authority is 1000 characters long
12:49 it will clutter the marc-string
12:49 jcamins kf: me too.
12:50 oakivil: no, the heading is still embedded.
12:50 kf but koha uses the number for linking instead of a text search
12:50 jcamins Right.
12:50 oakivil ok
12:50 and it should be used as text serach?
12:50 according to marc21?
12:51 how do you fix that when importing via z39.50?
12:51 kf afaik or was told the $0 subfield for storing the number was introduced late
12:51 oakivil: you get no authorities through z39.50
12:51 you have to relink them
12:51 oakivil nope
12:51 jcamins oakivil: you don't. Hence my complaint. There's no working linker, so you're basically SOL for any record you don't manually catalog in Koha.
12:51 kf or have them autocreated
12:51 oakivil but you have biblios where some have authorities and some have links
12:51 kf SOL?
12:52 in our case we swap fields
12:52 from $0 to $9 befroe import
12:52 jcamins kf: Stuck Out of Luck.
12:52 kf and all works well
12:52 but special use case
12:52 jcamins: thx :)
12:52 oakivil jcamins: kindergarten version :D ?
12:52 jcamins kf: you're a union catalog. Also, German catalog rules are logical.
12:52 oakivil: right.
12:53 oakivil but rhymes! ++
12:53 hmm
12:54 but if you export your mark data, its easy to add a sanitizer-module which replaces those authority links with their real values
12:54 so the output is according to standard
12:56 kf now I got used to being a developer, you tell me I am a union catalog. ... ;)
12:56 oakivil: $9 is standard to - local field
12:56 oakivil maybe its a praise?
12:57 kf he said german catalog rules were logical in the same sentence - not sure he is not being ironical
12:58 jcamins kf: no, I was serious.
12:58 oakivil i cant remeber those marc fields
12:59 $0 and $9 are equally strange to me :D
12:59 lemme check the manual
13:01 so $9 is a koha-specific field
13:01 no.. a local field? used in the local system?
13:02 so marc lets you use it however you wish?
13:03 kf oakivil: yes
13:03 everything with a 9 is for local use

13:11 jcamins Except for 490.
13:11 oakivil are there any rules in libraries with zero exceptions?
13:13 kf oh right
13:13 oakivil: rhetoric question?
13:13 jcamins oakivil: yes, rangi has a rule that has no exceptions:
13:13 @quote get 123
13:13 huginn jcamins: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
13:14 oakivil lol
13:14 damn i did lol, sorry
13:14 librarians are crazy
13:14 kf but nice, right?
13:14 oakivil who is telling them what is profitable work and what is not?
13:15 well yeah, its easy to be nice when you dont have to take any responsibility for results
13:16 im not talking about all librarians
13:16 but in general
13:18 just an idea, but if our audience doesnt care about all the novelties of cataloguing, why should libraries?
13:19 or is it just Finland :D
13:19 eythian joined #koha
13:21 kf not sure about all that - but there are libarians in here ... ;)
13:21 sekjal joined #koha
13:21 oakivil I know
13:21 but I dont find it meaningfull work if you sit by your computer and watch clips from youtube
13:22 maybe you should try to improve your workflows for ex or something usefull.
13:22 anyway
13:23 oleonard Yeah, anyway...
13:23 jcamins What does this snippet of SQL do: SELECT DISTINCT(issues.borrowernumber), firstname, surname
13:25 oakivil selects firstname and surname of people who have a unique borrowernumber in issues table?
13:25 is that a whole sql sentence?
13:25 druthb Borrowers who have something out will be listed.  If they have more than one item, they'll only get one listing.  (that's the DISTINCT)
13:26 oakivil yeah :)
13:26 jcamins druthb: but what's with the parentheses?
13:26 oakivil maybe DISTINCT is a function
13:27 druthb Shouldn't do anything, at that point.   I'd do it more as SELECT DISTINCTROW issues.borrowernumber,firstname,surname from issues JOIN borrowers USING (borrowernumber), myself.
13:27 jcamins Okay, thanks.
13:27 oakivil but JOINs are such a pain
13:28 but who know how DISTINCT works
13:29 druthb DISTINCT tells sql to choose only one, if it appears multiple times...not black magic.
13:29 oakivil yeah but does it use join under the hood anyway
13:29 as JOINs are quite expensive processes
13:29 jcamins That was just a snippet.
13:30 oakivil yeah
13:30 druthb DISTINCT doesn't, no.  You're still gonna have to JOIN to get the other fields.
13:30 oakivil ok
13:30 jcamins I didn't see any reason to flood #koha with a forty-word query. :)
13:30 oakivil its nice to chat once in a while :D
13:31 druthb SELECT biblionumber from biblio where biblionumber NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT biblionumber FROM items);    is functionally equivalent to SELECT biblionumber FROM biblio LEFT JOIN items USING (biblionumber) WHERE items.biblionumber IS NULL;   I have not profiled to see which is faster.
13:32 oakivil you won! I surrender
13:32 jcamins druthb: I would submit that it doesn't matter, because the latter is readable.
13:32 druthb jcamins:  They're both readable, to me.  :)
13:34 oakivil then you can also comment :D
13:34 druthb hee.  Either will show you bibs with no items attached.  :)

14:16 * sekjal must be a fool, too...
14:16 sekjal though I finally found in C4/Search.pm the keys to how relevancy ranking works in Koha
14:16 oleonard Thank goodness there are *some* fools around here
14:16 jcamins sekjal: oh?
14:17 sekjal we weight certain fields, and differently under difference circumstances, but that combined with the inverse frequency rule, should give us pretty good idea of how that's supposed to work
14:17 I've been meaning to write up a short article on it
14:18 kf so relevancy ranking works?
14:18 * kf hides
14:18 sekjal I think it only kicks in if you do certain kinds of queries
14:19 jcamins Okay, surely there is a Perl library somewhere that does a good job of turning Google-like queries into tokenized... thingies.

14:26 jcamins gmcharlt_: do you know anything about CPAN modules for turning Google-like queries into something useful to computers?
14:29 kf: when your users are doing a boolean search, what do they use for operators?
14:29 kf not sure they are using boolean search
14:30 the librarians might, but the patrons?
14:30 I think and
14:30 jcamins Well, the librarians.
14:30 wahanui the librarians are crazy
14:30 wizzyrea wahanui++
14:30 jcamins kf: thanks. Thinking about "UND" and "ET" as operators.
14:31 kf UND and ET?
14:31 jcamins German and French respectively, nein? :)
14:31 kf how does et (want to call home?) work as an operator?
14:31 oh french
14:32 why are you thinking about operators in other languages?
14:32 * kf is totally confused now
14:32 jcamins kf: because I hate Search.pm and want to nuke it from high orbit, replacing it with someone else's code.
14:33 kf k?
14:34 jcamins kf: so the question is whether the replacement needs to be multi-lingual.
14:35 kf I think everything translation related should be dealt with on template level
14:36 ah... tlakign about an expert search?
14:36 I was thinking about the advanced search form
14:36 jcamins I'm thinking about search queries.
14:36 oakivil since when has this chat been so much fun?
14:36 kf I think we should not parse and/or/not as boolean in search queries
14:37 jcamins If I were to type in "zeit und festschriften", should that look for the word "und" or should it just look for "zeit" und "festschriften"?
14:37 kf it should look for und too
14:37 because you will get a lot more results for zeit und festschriften
14:37 as boolean
14:37 lots of serials titles have "und"
14:37 lots of confusion for normal patrons
14:37 and even for libarians
14:38 jcamins But right now, "and" and "or" are magic words.
14:38 kf hm
14:38 probably not such a problem for us, because und and oder are not
14:38 was not aware of that
14:39 jcamins oleonard: how are things? And what do you think? :)
14:39 sekjal "and" = "&&" and "or" == "||" ?
14:40 oleonard It works fine until Stephen King follows up "It" with "And"
14:40 jcamins sekjal: but are we sure that users aren't relying on "and" and "or" being magical?
14:40 I agree in principle than stopwords are a bad idea in this day and age, but we don't want to break things.
14:41 sekjal I'm pretty confident of that... and anyone who's advanced enough at searching to expect such behaviour can learn to use symbols instead of words to accomplish it
14:41 jcamins Hey, this is interesting: http://incubator.apache.org/lucy/

14:45 druthb oooo
14:47 kf ok
14:47 jcamins Okay, I would suggest that something like Search::QueryParser would be an excellent replacement for buildQuery.
14:48 kf gonna leave - team goes to a biergarten :)
14:48 oakivil sounds wiced!
14:48 thursday beer!
14:48 jcamins And BibLibre could use something like that with their SOLR bit.
14:49 sekjal I think we should have the flexibility to support arbitrarily many incoming query syntaxes, and then be able to convert each of them into arbitrarily many queries against whatever indexer
14:50 build the adaptability into the module structure
14:50 so folks can try new things without breaking the old
14:51 and the "fittest" combinations for any given application will "survive"
14:51 kf sounds great but hard to write
14:51 jcamins Agreed.
14:52 sekjal oh, absolutely.  probably completely impractical
14:53 but I'm not going to worry about those kind of concerns today (a gift to myself)

17:07 jcamins Speaking of entities screwing up Zebra, it looks like the problem with my ICU configuration is that I had an entity.
17:08 library_systems_guy bleh zebra
17:08 just came back to see all of that
17:10 jcamins hdl: did you see my patches?
17:11 hdl well saw that. But imho it is a ZOOM bug.
17:11 or a zebra bug...
17:11 *sigh...
17:12 * jcamins agrees, but that's a workaround.
17:12 hdl jcamins: we have some command line tools here which relies on SimpleSearch
17:12 And ...
17:12 jcamins hdl: oh. Yuck.
17:12 hdl well never mind.
17:13 * hdl can't think of a single reason to keep the zebra alive.
17:14 jcamins It's small.
17:14 hdl not that small
17:14 when you look at the amount of data
17:14 and when you consider its CPU usage
17:16 jcamins There's a point, though, where the overhead of a system like solr overweighs the improved marginal resource requirements.
17:17 In tiny catalogs, for example.
17:18 hdl mmm considering you can host a solr cluster for those libraries, and manage that for them, it is a small advantage.

17:34 hdl DOM indexing for authorities ?
17:34 jcamins hdl: the format in general. We're looking at getting it working for biblios, too.
17:34 hdl which icu schema ? the one i sent you ?
17:34 jcamins Yeah.
17:34 Not the contents of the file, but the format.
17:35 The contents are sensible. However, it's basically a text file with lots of angle braces.
17:35 * jcamins suspects that "schema" means something else in French.
17:35 hopes it doesn't have an insulting meaning.
17:36 hdl well the format of the icu chain and DOM is something a company from the north could answer on.
17:37 jcamins hdl: yes, I know. That was really more of a rhetorical question, to express my frustration at the format's silliness.

19:25 rhcl I propose we put wahanui and zebra on a closed network circuit, setup an recursive endless ping flood between them, and let them annihilate each other.

19:50 wizzyrea i like him
19:51 * jcamins likes wahanui
19:51 jcamins wahanui: jcamins?
19:51 wahanui you are probably supposed to be an outstanding cook. or well-traveled and brilliant. or trying to think of a solution, but short of a set of three sysprefs (ShelfBrowserUsesLocation, ShelfBrowserUsesCcode, and ShelfBrowserUsesHomeBranch), I don't really have any ideas. or awesome fixing broken email notifications
19:51 jcamins :D
19:51 wizzyrea lol @ the third one
19:52 i like him for things like this
19:52 TT?
19:52 wahanui i think TT is Template::Toolkit
19:52 wizzyrea LOL?

20:38 nengard thought so :)
20:38 cait hi rangi, nengard and wizzyrea :)
20:38 nengard hiya
20:38 wizzyrea cait! Hi :D
20:38 cait :)
20:39 is the spanish website available now?
20:39 rangi yup
20:39 bg rangi - I'm not totally sure that 942c is required - at least it doesn't seem to totally break things without it
20:39 I mean I know it used to be
20:39 cait oh cool
20:40 rangi yeah ti doesnt totally break things, just sometimes does in unexpected places
20:40 cait how did they do it? the translation?
20:40 rangi i dunno
20:40 wizzyrea i'm not sure that it's not just a full translation
20:40 cait druthb told when you have a 942$c (itemtype - right?) it will autofill this in for new items you create
20:41 wizzyrea ?
20:41 rangi yup, you can of course change it, but yes it does choose that by default
20:41 wizzyrea I think they may have just translated the posts
20:41 manually
20:42 cait hm static pages, no wordpress?
20:42 wizzyrea I think it's wp, certainly looks like wp
20:42 but they can translate the posts into their wp manually
20:42 i.e. a lot of work
20:43 which I commend them for

21:34 * Brooke is mixing up beer based pizza dough. How hard can it be?
21:34 wizzyrea !
21:34 easy :)
21:36 Brooke I should practice my tossing if the little mister isn't about
21:36 I practiced on the sly at Rosa's but it wasn't the same.
21:37 jcamins_away Brooke: using the beer for leavening?
21:37 Brooke a yep
21:38 little flavour, too
21:38 wizzyrea http://www.hungryhungryhippie.com/just-add-sabra/
21:38 Brooke but mostly since I can't find the bloody pizza yeast I used to use back in the day anywhere anymore
21:38 wizzyrea oh bother
21:38 but uh, enjoy that.
21:38 rangi heh
21:39 * jcamins_away uses regular yeast, or a sourdough starter, and a *very* hot oven.
21:39 jcamins_away wizzyrea: Israeli couscous?
21:39 * jcamins_away didn't follow the link, just guessing based on the title.
21:42 wizzyrea nah, it's a brand of hummus
21:42 jcamins_away wizzyrea: I know.
21:43 rangi righto meetings
21:43 bbiab
21:43 jcamins_away wizzyrea: but, "Just add Sabra"... shouldn't that be about Israeli couscous?
21:43 wizzyrea it does have couscous in it I think
21:43 I was going to make it with quinoa though
21:43 jcamins_away Mmm.
21:43 wizzyrea i have a giant tub of quinoa in my fridge, just waiting to be mixed with stuff
21:45 Brooke I have a source for the sultanas.
21:46 http://lesttheybelost.blogspot[…]sultana-cake.html
21:46 didn't dare even start that with stupid SunMaid junk.
21:46 I got my pound from the Turkish Bakery in Watertown MA
21:46 Sevan :)
21:47 saw those gold babies
21:47 and I was like, guess who's comin' home
21:49 I anticipate mercilessly botching that receipt since it's a baked good, BUT at least I'll not be able to blame the raisins.
21:49 rhcl Hate to open the oven door and make the pizza go flat, but I wanna talk about stuff.
21:49 Brooke stuff away!
21:49 rhcl So when you import a batch of records into the db, they go into a pool or batch. And after you process them you can clean them, but they apparently don't ever get deleted and go away to /dev/null.
21:50 So wouldn't that be a good thing--to nuke 'em? Would it be hard to do? The sysadmin in me says just do #rm -f poolbatchfile.rec.
21:50 Brooke there should be quite a bit on the listservs about that
21:52 jcamins_away Argh! I forgot the password for my printer.
21:53 rhcl what does it mean for a staged record to be "cleaned"
21:53 Brooke p4sswd?
21:53 wizzyrea admin?
21:53 jcamins_away Oh, there we go.
21:53 Brooke cat's name?
21:53 wizzyrea rhcl I think it takes it out of the search results
21:53 Brooke we must know for future use :P
21:54 jcamins_away The password dialog was blocking the part of the page that said "here's the password."

23:38 rangi thanks
23:38 Brooke how am I cooking pizza without you glued to my window?
23:42 Space_Librarian I have never been more appalled by the behaviour of a national library. ever. It was an embarassment to the profession.
23:44 * druthb has clearly missed something
23:45 Space_Librarian we've just come back from the kōtui debrief
23:45 Brooke I'll swap your National Library for LOC
23:46 oh right, terroristic threats are illegal
23:46 disregard that.
23:46 mtj Space_Librarian: whats the general story-so-far?
23:46 Space_Librarian well, put it this way
23:46 Koha was too advanced for their RFP
23:46 in a nutshell
23:47 chilts Space_Librarian: doesn't sound good :(
23:47 was that the one rangi was at too?
23:47 rangi yup
23:47 Space_Librarian yep
23:47 rangi but at least i can meet you for lunch now chilts :)
23:47 chilts heh, cool! :)
23:47 Space_Librarian :)
23:47 chilts so how do you mean 'too advanced'?
23:47 I get the gist, but I guess they had specifics
23:48 rangi they wanted a discovery layer seperate to the ILS
23:48 Space_Librarian their rfp couldn't handle an lms with an integrated discovery layer
23:48 rangi what she said
23:49 Space_Librarian they just couldn't comprehend it
23:49 chilts hmm, weird
23:49 Brooke teh ohnoes the product exceeds expectations
23:50 if one wanted to be nasty
23:50 chilts so that's _one_ technical aspect, they must have had more?
23:50 Space_Librarian it didn't fit what the considered to be normal
23:50 Brooke one might rally a MP to investigate this through your Accountability folks
23:50 Space_Librarian not really
23:50 they won't tell us
23:50 Brooke in any case
23:50 Space_Librarian we asked
23:51 Brooke they've set themselves up for a long term loss
23:51 Space_Librarian and they said they'll review the answers
23:51 Brooke since I predict individual Libraries not signing
23:57 * druthb ducks into a VPN to go raid data...back in a bit.
