[Koha-devel] Koha 3.0 update for week ending Feb 11th 2006

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi all,

Sorry I'm late getting last week's 3.0 Update out ... better late 
than never I suppose :-).

Last week was especially exciting because we've finally got Perl-ZOOM
in a working state -- many many thanks to Paul and the Index Data guys
for all their hard work on this.

MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

We'll be holding our weekly organizational meeting on Monday, February
13th at 19:00 GMT. Here's the time in your area: http://tinyurl.com/7bk2f

MEETING NOTES (for Monday February 6th)

Present: kados, owen, thd, sanspach, slef, hdl

        hdl announced that paul had solved 'problem #2' with perl-zoom, but
        problem #1 still remained (CQL queries)

        hdl also announced some new serials code he was working on to link
        a serial to an item record

        kados announced some code he committed to rel_2_2, several new sysprefs,
        some related to Amazon.com content, some to interface customization.

        group discussed some areas where Koha needed improvement to use
        mod_perl2

        thd brought up his suggestion about improving framework for more SQL
        dbs:

        slef, kados, hdl agreed his plan is sound.

        still waiting for feedback from paul and chris before adding these
        suggestions to the Koha Coding Guidelines
