Koha Documentation

Online Help

  • Since Koha 2.2 an online help is available directly from the Koha Staff Client.
  • For example, when you pull up a page : my.koha.server.org/cgi-bin/koha/path/to/script.pl?anyparameters=X&otherparameter=Y
  • a help page must be written for the page: path/to/script.pl
  • That’s as simple as this. The same page is used for every action on the same page.
  • Anyone can add documentation here : OnlineHelp
  • NOTE: It is now possible to edit the online help directly from Koha, – need to import OnlineHelp documents into Koha (probably a manual process)

Koha Community

KohaUsers - Here’s a page for collecting some information about who’s using Koha. Hopefully it will help us (the developers) get in touch with the right people to ask questions of, and will help you (Koha users) to find other libraries running Koha in your local area. Note: these two groups aren’t mutually exclusive.

KohaInterestGroups - Here’s some information on starting a Koha Interest Group, and a list of current KIGs.

Koha Users and Developers of Open Source - Information about the beginnings of a US-based Koha User Group–working name Koha User & Developers of Open Source Group (KUDOS).

KohaLa - First meeting of the French not-for-profit Koha organisation: http://www.koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1193171525.html

IRC

The IRC channel at irc://irc.katipo.co.nz:6667/#koha is quite active, especially during US daytime on weekdays, though the geographic diversity of the community means that you can get support here almost anytime. The channel is logged, and logs are available at http://koha.org/cgi-bin/logs.pl.

In the past, we have held some IRC Meetings and have logs archived here.

To help you get to know some of the folks on IRC, we have a page listing some of the IRC Regulars.

There is also a #kohanews on Freenode
