Evergreen DokuWiki

Problem was observed with entering / retrieving patron names containing Unicode in Evergreen 2.0 on OpenSRF 1.6. Dan found a fix for the problem in OpenSRF 2.0 but there's a different problem with OpenSRF 1.6, thus a release candidate of 2.0.0 has been released.

TODO:

• Determine why Unicode patron name entry / retrieval worked with previous versions of OpenSRF but is broken in current version
• Test OpenSRF 2.0.0 for stability and potential adoption

We don't want to let submitted patches rot, here's a list of bugs with attached patches:

• Patron Registration Customization Overhaul
• Permission Profile Filtering in Patron Search interface
• Missing examples for "interval" settings in Library Settings Editor

• We have willing mentors (phasefx, gmcharlt, dbs)
• Need to put together a solid application, with a list of potential ideas for student projects that would be helpful to Evergreen, ideally with a list of prerequisite knowledge and easy/medium/difficult ratings
  • Even if our application is turned down, it provides a good refresh of the long-in-the-tooth software bounties page and offers an entry point for other potential developers
• Deadline for applying: March 11, 2011; applications opened today
