Koha recommendations

Las recomendaciones completas del sistema pueden encontrarse en la wiki oficial de Koha acompañado junto con la documentación para desarrolladores: http://wiki.koha-community.org

When working in the Koha staff interface it is strongly recommended that you use an up-to-date version of either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. The Koha community doesn’t support Internet Explorer for the staff interface. If your organization only allows Microsoft products, use Edge instead of Internet Explorer.

If you see an error or something missing, please file a bug report on bugzilla using the module “Documentation”. You can also send an email to the koha-docs mailing list.

The manual is organized by Koha module. At the start of most sections (and throughout) you will find “Get there” tips. These lines tell you how to get to the section in Koha.
