a. gathering all developers, users and other contributors in an autonomous association united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned and democratically-controlled enterprise.
b. providing appropriately for the long term governance of the Koha Project; (that is, the sum of a) all public activities performed for the intentional benefit of the Koha Software and b) all acquired Property relating to the Koha Software); 
c. coordinating the continuing development of Koha Software (that is, the software known as the Koha Integrated Library Management System originally developed for Horowhenua Library Trust, further developed by the Koha Community and distributed from the website maintained by the Koha Community);
d. serving as a coordinating body of open and transparent communication between and among members of the Koha Community (that is, those individuals and entities with a present active interest in the Koha Software or the Koha Project)
e. caring for any or all Property of the Koha Project, including that transferred from Horowhenua Library Trust Koha Committee or developers;
f. maintaining Koha Software as free and open source software (FOSS);
[etc., etc.]
3. Organization:
4. Incorporation:
a. legal location
b. benefits
c. cautions
5. Membership:
a. eligibility

Koha Software Foundation/Reasons Not To Form One

It's worth discussing reasons not to create a foundation / organisation / association instead of assuming it must be a good thing.
* opportunity for centralised control -- could become disconnected from the existing community process
* the existing scheme might be sufficient
* we already have a long term holder of Koha assets, HLT seems fine; not broke, why fix it
* 'governance' is cited as a good outcome but without specifics or scope described it will mean irreconcilably different things to different people
* Regional organisations could be used to coordinate local resource/idea sharing

Koha Tikanga

These are proposed tikanga. They are no good without feedback. I also feel like I'm missing stuff. I am also working on more specific things. So these are meant to hold the level of specificity they currently have.
As with any culture, understanding Koha etiquette takes time, effort, and practice. If you are unsure about your conduct, seek out the Kaitiaki. 
The community is larger than any individual or any vendor. We are related and intertwined. Enthusiasm and fun nourish the project.
There exists a white space of balance between the black of the developers and the red of the librarians. The pattern is harmonious and code absent all three is devoid of meaning.
We build upon the work of the past, while seeking innovative twists. We aren't afraid to break from the pack if it means a better product for our users and their patrons.
Call things as you see them. Constructive criticism is the fuel of innovation. Respecting another's mana and keeping discourse welcoming to newcomers is the lifeblood of the project.
We pride ourselves on pairing high quality craftsmanship with unmatched accessibility. In the words of MJ Ray "The professionals have really messed stuff up for the artisans." 
While financial support is a fine fuel for development, alternatives are present. Professionals are paid in coin; artisans derive satisfaction from the work itself.

Koha as Firefox Search Engine

You can configure Firefox to search directly into your Koha Catalog from Firefox search bar, like you do for Google itself or other popular search engines (Wikipedia, Yahoo! Ebay, etc.)
You just have to copy a file named yourcatalog.xml into your workstation searchplugin Firefox subdirectory. 
For example:
 
<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/">
<ShortName>My Library</ShortName>
<Description>Search into my library wonderfull catalog.</Description>
<InputEncoding>utf-8</InputEncoding>

Koha cms with multilingual

If you need to use Koha opac as CMS with multilingual content then start with the following steps 
==== step 1 ====
cp /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-main.pl /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-cms.plvim /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-cms.pl 
After this section 
$template->param(
koha_news => @all_koha_news,
news_lang => $news_lang,
branchcode => $homebranch,
display_daily_quote => C4::Context->preference('QuoteOfTheDay'),
daily_quote => $quote,
); 
Add these lines: 
#CMS Pages
my $page = "page_". $news_lang ."_" . $input->param('p') ; # go for "p" value in URL and do the concatenation
my $preference = C4::Context->preference($page); # Go for preference
$template->{VARS}->{'page_test'} = $preference; # pass variable to template pages.tt 
==== step 2 ====
cp /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-main.tt /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-cms.ttvim /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-cms.tt 
search and replace that line 
[% IF ( OpacMainUserBlock ) %]<div id="opacmainuserblock">[% OpacMainUserBlock %]</div>[% END %] 
 To this: 
[% IF ( page_test ) %]<div id="opacmainuserblock">[% page_test %]</div>[% END %] 
Do step 2 for each language you have
==== step 3 ====
In koha system go to Home › Administration › System Preferences > Local Use and add a New Preference called "page_{lang-code}_test"Fill it out as so 
Explanation: test page for pages tiny cmsVariable: page_{lang-code}_PageNameValue: {this is your page html content}variable options (last field): 80|50 
to test that page go youhost/cgi-bin/koha/opac-cms.pl?p=PageName 
These steps based on this page with some enhancement for multilingual opac

Koha cookbook RFC

This project is currently being developped. See Koha cookbook for details
These are some loose ideas and a "request for comments". Please feel free to edit the page with your ideas or add them to the page of discussions.
==The idea==
The idea came from Rachel Hamilton-Williams on Twitter: "Should we do a koha cook book :-)"
==Formats==
* Freely downloadable as PDF, epub and HTML
* Physical Print-on-demand paper book (at cost price, no profits)
For the paper book we need a print-on-demand printer that makes it possible to publish books that can be bought by anyone. Bonus if the book can be available in different qualities (size, softcover/paperback, paper qiality).
Candidates:
* Blurb
==Contributions==
The Koha community could be asked, through the email lists, social media etc, to contribute recipes. 
Contributors can use kohacookbook@protonmail.com to send recipes to the editors.
Contributions could be in a specified format, for example:
* Name of the dish
* Short description of the dish
* The recipe
** List of ingredients and quantities
** Description of how to make the dish (running text or bulletpoints)
* Name of the contributor
* Country of the contributor
* Short description of the contributor and their connection to Koha
* Picture of the dish (In portrait mode, to fill one page in the book. This could be a composite image showing stages of preparation, but it should only be one image, to make it easy for the editors.)
==Layout==
Left page: 
* Name of dish
* Short description
* List of ingredients
* How to make the dish
* Name, description and picture of contributor
Right page: 
* Picture of dish
==Remixing==
We could save all the "data" (names, descriptions, images) in some moderately structured way (e.g. one YAML file per contribution) to make it easy to remix it to new formats. 
==License==
The finnished product should be available under an open license, and contributrors must agree to having their words and images published under this license. 
CC0 or something else?

Koha howto

The Koha-howto project has been created to guide you over the different steps of a patch submission.
You will learn how the Koha community is organised and which are the different steps of a patch before its integration.
You will be guided to apply a patch and sign it off inside a development environment, then you will write and submit your patch to our bug tracker, to share it with us.
Inside koha-testing-docker it can be access directly
Take a look at the README page of the project to know how to set it up.
The code is available on github at https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-howto

As an aside.. THIS IS AWESOME, LEE! Congratulations!
Koha offline circulation file format

This is a proposal for a standard file format for offline circulation data to be imported into Koha. This way, there can be any number of offline circulation clients that can take advantage of a single file processor. The following format is based on the offline circulation module from Koha-Tools with additions as suggested by Andrew Moore of Liblime.
==Version 1.0==
* The extension for the files will be .koc for Koha Offline Circulation
* The file will be essentially a tab delimited csv file
===First line===
* The first line is a 'configuration' line that describes the data is key=value pairs that are tab delimited. Proposed keys include:
** Version : The version of the file format
** Generator : The program that created this file
** GeneratorVersion : The version number of the program that generated this file
===Circulation data===
* The rest of the rows will be circulation data.
** The first column will always be the date ( in the format “YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ms” )
** The second column will always be the action performed, the remaining columns for that row will be defined separately for each action.
==== Current Actions==== 
* issue - Issue an item to a member
** Format: $date issue $cardnumber $barcode
* return - Return an item to the library
** Format: $date return $barcode
* payment - Make a payment to the member's account
** Format: $date payment $cardnumber $amount

Koha on Gentoo

= Introduction =
These instructions have been tested on an up-to-date (2012-11-01) Gentoo (x86) installation. The first installation was done by following the Koha_on_ubuntu_-_git instructions. So in case anything is missing in theses instructions you will find more information there. The following should be a more concise way of installing Koha on Gentoo.
= Pre-Installation Setup =
The koha package and some of its dependencies are not part of the Gentoo default repository. You can find a so called overlay for the Gentoo default packages repository here:
https://github.com/stefan-langenmaier/c-research-overlay
For further information on overlays in Gentoo and how to add them, you can read information here:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay
== MySQL ==
MySQL is not part of the default dependencies as it could reside on another server. Nevertheless you have to install and configure a MySQL instance for koha.
= Installation =
If the overlay is setup properly
$ emerge koha
should do the installation of Koha's dependencies and will leave you with the source code of Koha in /usr/src/koha
From here on you have to follow the normal install instructions where you can decide what kind of installation you like:
$ cd /usr/src/koha
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
If you did a standard installation, link the Koha Apache configuration file to Apaches vhost configuration directory to automatically pick up the settings.
$ ln -s /etc/koha-httpd.conf /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/koha.conf
If you have no DNS setup and you want to reach the OPAC and the intranet part on different ports adapt your /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf for both the OPAC part and the intranet part:
Listen 8001
NameVirtualHost *:8001
## OPAC
<VirtualHost *:8001>
...
<Location />
 Allow from all
 Order Deny,Allow
</Location>
...
</VirtualHost>
The Location part is to allow access from other machines, that were necessary in the Gentoo install.
