Marathi Grantha Sangrahalaya, Thane, Maharashtra, India a 100+ year old public library has decided to dump its proprietary ILS and migrate to Koha. It’s OPAC has been available on Koha as part of the union catalouge project granthalaya.org for over a year. Now they have chosen to completely migrate to Koha by adapting it for daily use in their library and branches.
Anant Corporation a Koha support provider has been chosen for this task of migration, user training and support as they have been maintaining the granthalaya.org union catalouge based on koha with over 550000 books and 14 participating libraries. Also Anant Corporation have in the past successfully migrated public libraries such as Dombivali Grantha Sangrahalaya.
Karen Coombs from OCLC stopped by the Koha IRC channel today with some interesting news: basic limits on all xIdentifier Web services have been increased to 1,000 queries per day.
Chris has added a commit to change the limit in Koha.
Thanks, Karen, for stopping by to tell us, and Thanks Chris for getting the necessary code changed so quickly. Awesome.
We’ve been working hard here, trying to get the site up and running. Here are a few of the things we have come up with to make life in Koha-land easier:
Prettier interface to our bugzilla – One complaint I’ve heard a lot is that bugzilla is hard to search, and hard to understand for users of Koha. We’ve tried to make this easier for you by providing this simplified interface to search our bug database.
Lists of enhancements and their statuses – Another complaint was that it was hard for people to tell what was “coming down the pipe” in Koha. This page gives you direct links to items in our bugzilla marked “Enhancement,” organized by their sponsored status.
Improved aggregation of Support Company news – This pulls news items directly from the support companies, so that they do not have to make a special trip here to post their news. If you have a Koha specific news feed for your company that you would like to have added, please send the URL of the RSS feed to wizzyrea (at) gmail (dot) com. Support companies without access to a feed are welcome to post their news items in the Support Company Press category, and they will be listed here as well.
Questions, comments, or suggestions welcome on any of these improvements, just leave it in the comments!
koha-community.org now accepts logins using OpenID. There’s one catch: if you have already created your account with us (fabulous, by the way 
) you will need to associate your OpenID with your existing account before you can log in with your OpenID.
If you are signing in for the first time, go ahead and log in with your OpenID. Do be sure to add your e-mail address to your account once you are logged in. I cannot give you additional permissions without an email address. Remember: we won’t give your email address away to anyone, ever.
If you already have created an account, do not try to log in with your OpenID before doing the following steps.
You should now be able to log into the site with your OpenID instead of your username and password.
If you have any questions, comments, or problems, leave a comment here and we’ll get you straightened out.
