02:59 jcamins Are you kidding me?
02:59 "Hi, I got an RFP, and I don't feel like answering it. Please do my work for me."
03:11 bag evening
03:11 oh jcamins that's funny
03:56 jeff jcamins: there was a pretty good tradition on usenet for people who were quite obviously asking homework questions of a newsgroup... try to give answers that should be glaringly obviously wrong without being noticed by the requestor

07:10 * magnuse waves
07:10 cait hey magnuse :)
07:10 hi #koha
07:10 magnuse is there some page somewhere that lists all the APIs and protocols koha supports?
07:11 it would be quite an impressice list...
07:11 rangi no but we should make one
07:11 hi cait and magnuse
07:11 magnuse i'll start one on the wiki then
07:12 and hi rangi
07:13 cait magnuse++ :)
07:25 magnuse it's a start... http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]supported_by_Koha
07:25 rangi cool :)
07:26 cait :)
07:26 CAS maybe?
07:26 magnuse sure
07:27 hm, should that page only show things where koha acts as the server?
07:28 or should it include the apis we get information *from*, for example for enhanced content?
07:28 cait I added 2 :)
07:28 magnuse yay
07:28 cait hm
07:32 jeff heh. i just did a survey of that kind of thing for Evergreen.
07:38 magnuse jeff: is it available anywhere?
07:38 rangi: would the x.somenumber thing you did for authentication qualify for "my" list?
07:40 rangi x509?
07:40 client side certs .. not really its an authentication method
07:40 we should have a list of those too
07:40 LDAP
07:40 CAS
07:40 x509 and persona
07:41 jeff magnuse: this is some of the research i was doing to prep for the talk I gave at the Evergreen conference yesterday: http://goo.gl/ZbMQ4 and this is a copy of my slides: http://goo.gl/0ya0K
07:41 magnuse jeff: very cool, thanks!
07:42 cait rangi: I added persona :)
07:42 jeff and of course gmcharlt put out a similar blog post calling for API users to stand and be counted: http://evergreen-ils.org/blog/?p=966
07:42 cait to the list
07:43 rangi cait: maybe we should split it into types of API
07:43 cait hm?
07:43 jeff i've had a few conversations in here about koha's restful and rest-style API support, but i think today is the first i've come across koha-restful, http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha-restful;a=summary -- anyone know what license that is under? there doesn't seem to be any license in the repo or in the source files.
07:43 rangi authentication methods are quite different
07:43 to data methods
07:44 ah yep it is cool
07:44 cait not sure I understand what you mean
07:44 *confused*
07:45 rangi jeff: it'd have to be gpl3+ or compatible, or you cant actually use it with Koha, but yeah they should put a license statement
07:45 magnuse jeff: i woul assume the license is compatible with koha, but you'd better ask paul_p or maybe clrh when they are around
07:46 jeff i made a similar assumption, but i'll try to ask and perhaps it can be made more explicit. :-)
07:46 rangi yeah
07:49 magnuse jeff++
07:52 rangi: what was that electronic resource thing you were working on again?
07:52 jenkins_koha Starting build #94 for job Koha_3.10.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
07:52 jeff myself and some others in the Evergreen community have started hacking on a proof of concept RESTful api for library systems with a pluggable implementation layer, similar to SIPServer (which I know has since been forked for inclusion in Koha). very very early experimental stages, but the idea is to have it be callable by mod_perl on an evergreen system or plack/etc on a koha system: https://github.com/tadl/library-rest-api
07:53 ugh. that was wordy. please let me know i truncated before the url. :-)
07:54 now that i've seen koha-restful, once i get some license clarification (and hey, library-rest-api has no license specified -- oops!) i may use it for some additional inspiration.
07:55 magnuse jeff: the url worked nicely
07:55 sounds like an interesting idea!
07:56 rangi magnuse: opds
07:57 magnuse ah, thanks
07:57 no bug for it yet, though?
07:58 jeff: i love slide #28 - Library Technology Standards v.s. Everything Else
08:00 well, it's sad, really, but a nice visualisation of it...
08:01 cait slide? where? :)
08:01 jeff thanks. as noted, this representation of the idea came from somewhere else... i think a link pasted in #code4lib months back to someone's photo of a whiteboard sketch. not certain. :-)
08:02 magnuse hehe
08:02 jeff cait: from earlier: magnuse: this is some of the research i was doing to prep for the talk I gave at the Evergreen conference yesterday: http://goo.gl/ZbMQ4 and this is a copy of my slides: http://goo.gl/0ya0K

08:09 ndroftheline joined #koha
08:09 cait hi ndroftheline
08:10 * magnuse discovers http://libill.hartford.edu/koha/index.asp
08:10 ndroftheline hail, friends! i'd like to get koha installed on fedora 18, has anybody in here done that?
08:11 cait not me, but someone certainly has
08:11 did you check the wiki?
08:11 wiki?
08:11 wahanui well, wiki is http://wiki.koha-community.org
08:17 ndroftheline woops, sorry - got distracted installing something else
08:18 huh...there are instructions for fedora core 7
08:18 has the install process not changed since fc7?
08:19 cait probably noone updated it since then
08:19 and so it might not be best to follow that
08:19 not sure how different fedora is to other linux distributions
08:19 we have debian packages now that also work for ubuntu, so that's the route most people go
08:20 ndroftheline oh, cool! are those in the debian repos?
08:20 magnuse ndroftheline: yup
08:21 ndroftheline nice! you obviously don't have a packager for fedora yet, right?
08:21 magnuse ndroftheline: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
08:21 ndroftheline: nope
08:21 ndroftheline hrm...maybe i will package you for fedora
08:21 magnuse that would be cool
08:22 ndroftheline yeah but i'm still something of a noob packager and i'm working on kiwix first, but koha is definitely on my list of must-haves, so i'll at least get it installed
08:27 where can i find your release tree? i need a tarball package with a specific version to package it
08:27 oh nvm got it
08:29 cait ah not yet in the debian repos yet I think?
08:29 but packages?
08:29 wahanui well, packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
08:29 cait and http://debian.koha-community.org
08:30 ndroftheline thanks! but i needed the tarball, and i already found it (:
08:30 http://download.koha-community[…]ha-3.10.04.tar.gz
08:32 magnuse ndroftheline: getting all the dependencies installed will probably be the fun part...
08:32 ndroftheline oh yes i'm sure that will be the fun part
08:32 sounds like there are a few weird perl modules required that peple have trouble with sometimes...?

08:35 ndroftheline wow you guys are at 3.8 in unstable? awesome.
08:36 magnuse no, 3.8 is very stable
08:36 3.10 is the current stable branch
08:36 3.8 is oldstable
08:36 3.12 is due out in ~1.5 months
08:36 cait may 22nd
08:37 ndroftheline: we are still doign bugfix releases for 3.8 and 3.10 - what you saw was jenkins running the tests as rangi pushed some bug fixes to those brnaches
08:38 ndroftheline oooooh misunderstood your versioning
08:38 magnuse hm, isn't Bug 10041 an enh? or do we give special treatment to improvements to the packages?

08:38 magnuse cool
08:38 i hope i can find the time to test it
08:39 cait adding additional scripts seems pretty save, jcamins can decide
08:39 magnuse yeah, there should be no side effects
08:42 cait .... and it is kind of a bug fix...
08:43 magnuse yeah, kind of :-)
08:43 and i'd love to see it get in to 3.12, dont get me wrong :-)
08:45 cait heh
08:55 magnuse does anyone have an idea about how much of the intranet is problematic in internet explorer?
08:59 * jeff read that as "internet"
08:59 jeff very different scope.
08:59 magnuse hehe, slightly...
09:00 cait magnuse: not much but a bit
09:00 drag and drop of baskets into a basket group does not work
09:00 but there is a work around doing it from the basket instead
09:00 oh
09:00 and we had libraries reporting problems with being ogged out all the time
09:00 magnuse ouch
09:01 jeff were their local clocks off by a large amount?
09:02 ndroftheline joined #koha
09:02 jeff ie uses absolute cookie expiry times vs firefox (and i think all others) use an offset calculated from the server time and the cookie expiry time.
09:03 of course, if it was multiple libraries... perhaps unlikely that all of their clocks were off -- unless it was all the same set of server-side systems and THEIR clocks were off...
09:03 cait no I don#t think that was the problem :) but good to know
09:05 magnuse i have one customer reporting that she gets logged out when she tried to save sysprefs
09:05 i have not had time to investigate the details yet

11:14 gaetan_B hi cait :) are you around ?
11:14 cait yep
11:15 how is things?
11:15 gaetan_B cait: good !
11:15 week end is friday / saturday so i am working here
11:15 i wanted to ask you about the translation project
11:15 cait ah
11:15 gaetan_B do you think we could create it today ?
11:16 cait druthb hasn#t come back to you?
11:16 gaetan_B no
11:16 do you know how to create one ?
11:16 cait hm
11:16 the problem is we can't totally do it without druthb probably
11:16 becasue the scripts need to be adapted
11:16 but if you give me a language code...
11:17 we could try and maybe change the code later on?
11:17 if there is a need to?
11:17 gaetan_B yep, i'm giving them the translation training tomorrow actually
11:17 the language code should be ku-sor
11:18 cait let me try something
11:18 gaetan_B for Kurdish Sorani
11:18 ideally we should add something that means it's the kurdish script and not the latin one, which can also be used for this language
11:19 but since we probably won't have another project in kurdish with the latin script
11:19 i guess it's not super necessary ;)
11:19 cait and the descripton?
11:19 ok, ruth might kill me, but I am adding some things to pootle right now
11:19 gaetan_B :D
11:20 i'll take all the blame required
11:20 what do you mean by description ?
11:20 cait ok, we got a language now and I made you admin for it ;)
11:20 so you can take the blame
11:20 gaetan_B yeah :)
11:21 hmm can't find it on pootle
11:22 cait not done yet :)
11:22 gaetan_B ah ok sorry :)
11:23 cait i have to add a project now I think
11:23 trying to figure that out
11:24 try now :)
11:24 can you upload the files yourself?
11:25 and do youneed 3.10 too?
11:25 gaetan_B still nothing, i need a 3.10 project yes
11:25 actually i don't even know how to generate the files !
11:25 cait ah ok
11:26 let's do one after the other then
11:26 gaetan_B: it shoudl show up in the list now for you
11:26 Iwill try to generate files
11:26 one second
11:27 hm should be baed on the latest 3.10.x version I think?
11:27 gaetan_B yes they will have 3.10.04
11:27 i wanted to put 3.12, so that they have all the latest improvements
11:28 but we had to install this week so
11:28 i still only see the weird kurdish project that only has a gnome terminology file attached to it
11:31 cait hm where are you looking?
11:32 http://translate.koha-community.org/ku_SOR/312/
11:33 gaetan_B: uploading now
11:35 opac is up
11:35 hope the files is ok, you will have to check :)
11:37 gaetan_B ok i will check
11:37 cait http://translate.koha-community.org/ku_SOR/310/
11:38 and it does show up for me now:
11:38 http://translate.koha-community.org/
11:44 gaetan_B ah it does show up for me too now, thanks :)
12:03 cait: ok i have to disappear because of vpn troubles, gthanks a lot and see you later !

14:04 that output looks scary :)
14:05 hm
14:05 tcohen grep -R "N°" * | grep -v -e blib
14:05 cait possible that is not quite right?
14:05 i get loooots of lines

14:12 cait so to fix or not to fix?
14:12 and what should we replace N° with?
14:15 * cait pokes jcamins
14:15 jcamins I thought we were replacing it with #?
14:15 cait http://forum.wordreference.com[…]read.php?t=264328
14:16 guess we could also do No.
14:16 magnuse how well does the translate process handle # for "number"?
14:16 jcamins Maybe ask someone who doesn't regularly write both "No." and "Nr."?
14:17 cait it seems # is AE
14:17 magnuse: i guess handling No. would be kinder
14:18 jcamins What does AE mean?
14:18 cait american english
14:18 jcamins Ah.
14:18 Right.
14:18 cait well American English obviously
14:20 would No. be bad?
14:20 magnuse cait: i would guess so too
14:20 jcamins I don't have a problem with it.
14:20 cait because you don't really care ;)
14:20 jcamins But, as I said, I'm the wrong person to ask.
14:20 Right.
14:21 cait well

14:57 gp5st i have a db dumb from a 3.0 install. i'm installing from the repos right now on an ubuntu 12.04 machine. can i just import my db dump?
14:59 cait hm
14:59 jcamins gp5st: yes, then you'll need to run a few upgrade scripts.
14:59 cait i think you can - but there is a script that has to be run
15:00 ah :) listen to jcamins :)
15:00 jcamins koha-update-schema or something like that and koha-upgrade-to-3.4 or something like that.
15:00 (I always just do /sbin/koha-<tab><tab> so that I get a list of my options, and identify the name that way)
15:01 gp5st cool, thanks jcamins
15:05 between the not so nice inet here and the headache of ubuntu updates, going from 8.04 to 12.04 wasn't happening. i wiped and put 12.04 on here and am using the ppa to install and update from now on
15:05 before i was just pulling from git
15:05 infact i was pulling from koha.org when that was a thing
15:05 idk much about the split, but at least there is still an open source version
15:06 jcamins gp5st: Koha has improved a lot since then.
15:06 I think you're going to be very happy. :)
15:06 gp5st cool:)
15:09 we're a church library
15:09 and the girls working keep looking on the docs and telling me about features and what not that don't exist
15:09 in the version we had
15:09 so i've finally gotten around to updating this system
15:28 cait :)
15:28 yeah, koha has come a long way since then
15:28 getting better every day :)

18:32 mib_c6kjzr hey guys. anyone here had any experience using koha with marc records in arabic?
18:32 cait hi mib_c6kjzr
18:32 kind of
18:32 I have some experience with hebrew and we have loaded arabic for testing
18:32 do you have a problem?
18:33 mib_c6kjzr cool, we were having a few issues with ours. we've managed to load the arabic records in and are able to browse
18:33 however we have a problem with the search
18:33 most of the searches we perform are returning way too many results
18:34 we have around 6040 arabic records. and alot of searches just return all 6040
18:34 cait you need to install koha with icu indexing
18:34 how did you install koha?
18:35 Koha with ICU will fix that problem, it#s an installation option when using the tarball but it can also be used when you installed from the packages
18:35 mib_c6kjzr just using the 'apt-get insall koha' on a debian box. then followed the web installer
18:35 cait http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]of_Arabic_records
18:35 ^^ this should help :)
18:35 mib_c6kjzr ok great!
18:36 thanks for the link
18:36 will have a good read of this
18:36 cait no problem, hope it works
18:36 if you run into problems asking on the mailing list would be good - I know we have some active arabic users that are not using the chat

21:10 mib_n4eweq hi can anyone please suggest how I could add Arabic/indic keyboard. I am new to Koha, Many thanks
21:11 jcamins mib_n4eweq: you can just change your keyboard setting.
21:13 mib_n4eweq is there any guide lines to keyboard setting.  could I add a tool like yamli for arabic?
21:13 jcamins I don't know anything about that, sorry.
21:13 Probably.
21:14 Koha is open source, and you can add custom Javascript.
21:14 jquery library?
21:14 wahanui jquery library is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/JQuery_Library
21:14 jcamins ^^ take a look at that page, I think it might have something about custom keyboards
21:15 mib_n4eweq thanks. Is there a list of koha arabic users?
21:15 jcamins koha users worldwide?
