KohaDevBox

THIS IS DEPRECATED - USE KTD (koha-testing-docker) INSTEAD
KohaDevBox is a tool that provides a ready-to-go full Koha development environment. It heavily relies on Vagrant and Ansible to set up a virtual machine with Koha and several other tools on it (using the VirtualBox virtualization technology). It is not very maintained lately and devs are switching to Koha-testing-docker.
It targets the following tasks:
* Run all t/, t/db_dependent and xt/ tests
* Sign off patches
* QA patches
* Develop Koha
* Develop Koha plugins
* Release Koha
A complete description and setup explanation can be found on KohaDevBox's README
Note: Pay special attention to the SYNC_REPO configuration variable, which allows using an external directory for the Koha source code.

* Commands provided by the Debian packages

KohaUsageStat RFC

=What is Hea=
It a website to collect data from libraries using Koha.
=Why these statistics are useful=
The main information we will able to have is how many libraries are using Koha?
How big they are? How many patrons are registered? How many items are they?
Moreover, the developers need to know which parts of Koha is used and which other parts are not.
On this way they will concentrate on features used by most people.
They will also be able to clean unused code.
=How to collaborate=
To have your library data displayed on the website, you just have to follow these instructions:
* Enable the syspref UsageStats
Note that this feature is only present on the 3.18 release, at the moment.
But it will be backport to 3.16 and maybe 3.14 (see the bug report for more information).
You can also set other system preferences related to Hea:
* UsageStatsCountry : 	The country where your library is located: This will be shown on the Hea Koha community website.
* UsageStatsLibraryName 	The library name will be shown on the Hea Koha community website. If this field is empty data will be sent anonymously.
* UsageStatsLibraryType 	The library type will be shown on the Hea Koha community website.
* UsageStatsLibraryUrl 	The library URL will be shown on the Hea Koha community website.
These data are displayed on the Hea website!
=Which data are sent ?=
Only the number of lines in these tables (anonymously) : 
* biblio
* items
* auth_header
* old_issues
* old_reserves
* borrowers
* aqorders
* subscription
And some system preference values to know which parts of Koha modules are used.
You can find this list of system preference values in C4/UsageStats.pm.
The first time data are sent, a random ID (UsageStatsID) is generated server side. Please don't change it, to not bias the results.
If you want to tell us who you are, you can fill the UsageStatsLibraryName system preference with your library name, UsageStatsLibraryUrl, UsageStatsLibraryType and/or UsageStatsCountry.

Koha 3.22 on Fedora 23

This page is a 2016 work in progress documenting the installation of the Koha 3.22 tarball on a Fedora server. Fedora is a Linux distribution of the RedHat family.
== Koha dependencies ==
Fedora standard repositories include Zebra, Yaz and most Perl dependencies that Koha requires. A few Perl dependencies need to be installed from CPAN. As for the rest, Koha defaults seem ok for Fedora.
An Ansible task for all the requirements was prepared that is able to install them automatically. See Ansible docs on how to use it.
== Automatic installation ==
If you clone the ansible recipe, installing should be as easy as:
 ansible-playbook koha.yml -u root -i inventory.ini
Currently focused on a server used only for backend/catalogue, with a few settings still hardcoded (like it_IT locale, default domain and passwords).
The recipe also handles the SELinux policy and keeps SELinux enabled and enforcing. Memcached is installed, but not used by default.
== Online installation ==
Now open the website in your browser and complete the installation, which will ask about MARC configurations and the like. The username and password will be the same used for MySQL. Especially if you left the defaults, you must change them!
== 2017 update ==
The recipe has been updated to Koha 2017.05 and tested on Fedora 25 and Fedora 26.
== See also ==
* Koha 3.10 on Centos 6.3 x86 64 en (2013; seems to be the other most recent RedHat installation manual)

Koha 3.4 Roles

With the release of 3.2.0 looming it is time to think of who is going to take over the roles for Koha 3.4
Anyone who wants take on any of these roles is more than welcome to put their name next to one and perhaps link to their proposal.
* Release Manager - Chris Cormack (have the OK from my employers, Proposal)
* Translation Manager
** Brendan Gallagher (agrees with paul - a non-english speaking person is preferred - will leave this here if no one else decides that they want to do this position) (note from paul: I suggest a non-english speaking person)
** Frédéric Demians (Proposal)
* Documentation Manager - Nicole Engard
* Documentation of DB - Zeno Tajoli. (Proposal)
* Bug Wrangler - ? [Definition required? Has this position existed in the past?] Nope, it's one I (fdemians) made up in an attempt to make QA manager more doable. Basically this is someone to keep an eye on bugzilla, make sure bugs are being looked at, closed when they are fixed, tested etc. It is a role a non developer could fulfill. Addition (nicomo): reaching out to librarians, developers and the community to have feedback on feature requests, to do some PR about the work done, etc. Id est: not an entirely technically oriented position...
** Jesse Weaver (will be sending proposal shortly)
** CALYX information essentials (proposal available soon)
** BibLibre (Henri-Damien LAURENT Proposal)
* QA Manager - Colin Campbell ( have the OK from PTFS Europe, Proposal)
* Module maintainers
** Cataloging, search - Galen Charlton (proposal coming)
* Release Maintainer (3.2) - Chris Nighswonger (Proposal)

Koha DIY 2020

On 24-25 October, we have an opportunity for us to work together on planning and doing some things to improve our libraries and Koha, including contributing to the development project. (Previously called a hackfest! All levels of skill and experience are welcome!) 
For those joining the hackfest in-person, we will be at Catalyst IT, 150 Willis Street. A reminder that the hackfest is for absolutely everyone. We're really excited to find ways for everyone to contribute to the global Koha project, whether that's through submitting your first patch, or helping with documentation, or strategising - there's something for all of us!
For those joining the hackfest online, we'll be available on IRC as usual, and look forward to talking to you all weekend.
=Projects=
If you plan on working on any project during Koha DIY, you can add them here to let other people know. If you are interested in one of the projects listed here, contact the person(s) to discuss how you can help.
* Documentation Live Stream with Caroline Cyr La Rose (caroline on IRC), 
** Date and time: Saturday, October 24, 9am NZST (Friday Oct. 23 4pm EST)
** Access: Access the stream
** This will be me (Caroline) editing the manual live and explaining what I do. This will not be a "getting started" presentation
=Starting out with bugs=
==To test==
We've marked bugs that are easy to test with the Sandboxes with the keyword "Academy". You find them using the advanced search on Bugzilla or using the link: 
* Academy bugs for signoff
==To fix==
* Academy bugs that need patches
 - [Omnibus] Use descriptive link texts 
Keeping Julian's presentation about improving accessilibity in mind, there are some links that could use a better description. The omnibus bug serves as a starting point with the actual bugs linked to it.

= This work has been done and is available from http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DB_Schema
== Koha E-R diagrams and tables information ==
=== Status ===
It is not easy to understand the Koha 3.0 DB structure. In fact you need to read the Koha code to understand all tables .CILEA wants to improve the situation by writing more technical documentation about the Koha 3.0 DB
=== Actions ===
Starting from all documentation avaible from wiki and koha-dev list we start to write complete E-R diagrams for Koha DB and a specific document for every table
We write:
* a general description of the table, 
* a specific description of every field (name, lenght, type, data inserted, constrains)
* a specific description of every index
* a list of the foreign keys of the table
We drow also a general E-R schema of the DB
The informatiom will be update to version 3.0 stable (3.00.00.107)
=== Persons ===
The person who will do the Job is Matteo Romanello http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/matteo/romanello
with Zeno Tajoli as tutor
=== Timetable and Tools ===

Koha List Welcome

Here there will be text for a useful and comprehensive welcome message for the Koha mailing list.
I'm just starting the ball rolling, I'm hoping people will edit it and fix it.
----
Nau Mai, Haere Mai ki te whanau Koha.
Hello and Welcome to the Koha Community.
This is just a brief email to help you make the most of the community, and the community make the most of you.
The best thing you can do to start is to introduce yourself. A brief email to this mailing list saying who you are and what you want to do is a great way to do that. 
This is the general discussion list for librarians and others interested in the Koha FOSS (free & open-source software) LMS/ILS (library management system/integrated library system) and related activities. It is a companion to other email lists (see <http://lists.koha-community.org/>) that discuss future development or aspects of the application.
Before posting to the list, it's always good to read/search through the mailing list archive <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.koha> and the manual and FAQs <http://koha-community.org/documentation> for answers to your questions.
Please feel free to use this list for announcements, questions and discussions on relevant topics, and please try to keep it positive and polite. Pro-free-software LMS/ILS news is welcome. Debating definitions of "free" is not.
Please send plain text emails and if you opt for the digest, change the subject line when you reply (as described at the top of the digest). In general, try to keep subject lines accurate and try to write the sort of message that you'd be happy if it appeared on the letters page of a national newspaper or magazine. Other useful netiquette guidelines can be found in Internet RFC 1855 <http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt>.
Emails from non-subscribers (and other emails held for review) will usually be sent to this list in a batch once a day.
Websites and bloggers may find the gmane archive <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.koha> more useful for linking, because its comment system is open to all.
Some other useful sites to keep an eye on are included below:
- Koha project home page <http://koha-community.org> - Here you will find links to other Koha websites and announcements of interest to the Koha community.
- Koha Bugs <http://bugs.koha-community.org> - Here you will find enhancement projects as well as bugs
- Koha Developer Wiki <http://wiki.koha-community.org> - information about the development process and RFCs (Request for Comments)
- Koha Git Repository <http://git.koha-community.org/> - patches and enhancements to Koha from the community
- Koha Documentation <http://koha-community.org/documentation>
We look forward to meeting you and working with you.
