  • First documentation IRC meeting for quite some time held on 16 December 2021
  • I'm reviewing bugs pushed for 22.05 each week and updating a spreadsheet for documentation changes required for 22.05 - see 29640. As part of this I will:
    • add the Manual keyword to the bug if I think documentation changes are required, and
    • add or update the release notes text where required
  • When we have updated the documentation we will add a note to the bug saying: 1) Changes for this bug are now incorporated into the manual. 2) Here are the changes we have made (a link to the commit and section in the manual). 3. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. 4) Remove the Manual keyword from the bug, if it was used, and add the new keyword Manual-updated.
• Status of roadmap projects
  • ES 6 EOL is soon : https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25439
