And 2 on peoples pc’s so far. Koha is certainly stirring up some interest at
Lianza. Ive got it down to 8 minutes to install Koha on a linux box, Russ
can do it in 10 minutes on a windows machine. Not too shabby at all.
And ive just installed and configured 2 more Koha’s.
UPDATE 2004/09/08: 15 Installs
I think we are up to fifteen installs now. Probably a couple more today I’d
imagine.
The University of Western Australia, Science Fiction Association have made their Opac available to the World. And it looks mighty fine, Kudos to the template makers.
Well the 3 R’s are heading north, I think via the mountain to have a bit of a ski/snowboard on the way. While at Lianza they will be manning a booth, installing koha for people, and presenting a talk. I’m sure they will do a great job and I’ll be around on IRC to help them out if they get stuck on with anything.
You can know see a map of all the
Koha installations worldwide. More will be being added as we hear of them.
So If you know of a Koha installation that isnt on the map, let us know at
I’m currently writing some more scripts to load data into a koha install.
This one is quite nice because the data came out of the old system as a
bunch of xml files. Which makes munging it and putting it in koha nice and
easy.
Well ive gotten a hacked at version of timebot, which in turn is a hacked at
version of Funbot, running as a logger in #koha now. It has a search
interface at http://www.koha.org/irc/. So
knock yourselves out.
I found this today. Ive
known for a while UB has been using Koha. But its great to see such an
informative site, and to see what they have been doing with it.
I just wrote a script to convert a database into Koha format all from memory.
Which is a little bit scary, it seems I know the acquisitions/biblio module
off by heart.
I did some work a while back to integrate Kea and Koha for the LGNZ site. This allows them to use the Kea
Content Management system to add documents (be they html, pdf whatever) to
their website and Koha to catalogue them.
Ive since got this working for the Katipo Koha now as well. It seems to
work pretty well, so my plan now is to document what I did so that it can be
done with other CMS systems as well if people want.
Owen tells me that the speed increase they are seeing at NPL is due to tweaks
Joshua has made to the mysql configuration. Yay Joshua. So thats all good. I
suggested that when the replication is all working as well it might be even
faster, which worried Owen slightly.
<owen:#koha> If it gets any faster, it’ll travel back in time! What
if Koha travels back in time and kills chris! A paradox will destroy the
universe!
Im hoping Joshua will see this and post a link to his documentation for the
tweaks 🙂
