Koha recommendations
Les recommandatations complètes, ainsi que la documentation pour le développement, sont disponibles sur le wiki de Koha : http://wiki.koha-community.org (en anglais seulement)
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.
