If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, let us know!
Can we look into bringing the ALUG Library into the main site, currently it is hosted in two places.
The live version is running on some webspace I get as part of my ISP package, but their servers are slow and unreliable. There is also a testing version already on the same provider as the ALUG main site. however it does not have the correct Domain names etc at the moment.
It would also be nice to change the opendb based library site to have a similar look and feel to the main site but I may need some help doing this.
I'm also considering migrating over to koha because it looks quite interesting.
The main thing I want to do (with either the existing library or koha if I decide to move over to it) is have a dynamic list of books within the ALUG pages that is a feed from the library catalogue, this will allow people to browse the library list without having to gain a library login (that then being needed only to reserve books) This will probably depend on us moving over to the ALUG hosted version because my ISP's mysql server only allows access from their own CGI servers.
There is no urgency to this...the library is hardly used at the moment and in any case my own workload prevents too much time being spent to this right now.
Also there was a fairly live discussion about the look and feel of the main site sometime back...perhaps you should revisit some of the suggestions made to see if they can be applied.
