11:22 kmlussier How appropriate! tspindler was just commenting on FB that it is a three-cups-of-coffee kind of day.

14:11 yboston I was reading up on ORSF and saw a bad link to the old Subversion repository for a tool called constrictor, that I would like to fix
14:11 yboston docs/development/intro_opensrf.txt:    http://svn.open-ils.org/ILS-Contrib/constrictor
14:12 yboston found here http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/dev/_evergreen​_after_one_year_reflections_on_opensrf.html
14:12 yboston does this tool still exist? anyone know where?
14:12 kmlussier http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/random.git​;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/collab/berick/constrictor
14:12 tsbere MVLC has git copies of the ILS-Contrib repo too.
14:12 yboston thanks, I srated looking at random, but must have missed it
14:12 yboston thanks
14:13 kmlussier Thank Dyrcona. He sent the link to me a couple months back. :)
14:13 tsbere If you can't find any other things that were in the ILS-Contrib repo you can check our copy of it: http://git.mvlcstaff.org/?p=Ever​green/ILS-Contrib.git;a=summary
14:13 yboston kmlussier: are we in need of more bitsize doc bugs?
14:14 kmlussier yboston: Sure.
14:14 yboston OK

14:54 jeff one of our staff discovered the enhancement that patron phone numbers now match in patron search regardless of punctuation. she was pleased. :-)
14:55 jeff so, a long after the fact ningalls++ senator++ eeevil++ mrpeters++ for commit 40fe251
14:55 pinesol_green [evergreen|senator] Patch from Niles Ingalls to make patron phone number searching more matchy. - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=40fe251>
15:04 bshum Haha
15:04 bshum Awesome :)
15:07 jeff > Heaps of blessings upon your head / THANK YOU! / Dashes are no longer required in telephone numbers in Patron Search :)
15:07 gmcharlt :)

15:54 yboston dbs: are you around for a quick conifer question?
16:13 dMiller joined #evergreen
16:14 kmlussier Is the participant list at http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org​/doku.php?id=hack-a-way-2014 just for those traveling to SC or can it include those who are planning to participate remotely/
16:14 kmlussier RoganH^ ^
16:14 RoganH hello!
16:15 jeff kmlussier++ for asking
16:15 kmlussier RoganH: Hi! :)
16:15 RoganH sorry, had to read up, I've been buried in other windows
16:15 kmlussier RoganH: As I knew would happen, I'm really regretting the fact that I didn't make travel plans.
16:15 RoganH Yes, it's for anyone participating in anyway.
16:15 kmlussier RoganH: OK, thanks!
16:15 kmlussier RoganH++ #Organzing
16:16 bshum kmlussier: It's never too late to get a last minute ticket or drive down?  ;)
16:17 kmlussier bshum: I'm getting too old to make last-minute changes to my schedule like that.
16:17 bshum Hehe
16:17 kmlussier And I think it is too late when taking into consideration the fact that at least one parent should be home when the kids are.

16:21 kmlussier For bug 1198465, I think I'm going to start a wiki page that outlines very specific use cases with all the different twists and turns that can happen with a transaction, and how the system should respond when the negative balance settings are turned on and how it might differ depending on what other settings a library might have enabled.
16:21 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1198465 in Evergreen "Support for Conditional Negative Balances" (affected: 14, heat: 62) [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1198465
16:21 bshum kmlussier++ #sounds helpful
16:22 kmlussier Because, in testing, I've found that the answer isn't always clear. And it also provides an opportunity for people like RoganH, who have shown interest in the project, to provide feedback on a conceptual level on whether they agree with the expected behavior.
16:23 kmlussier We created use cases at the beginning of the project, but I don't think they fully considered all the different turns a billing transaction can take.
16:23 RoganH Yeah, I have to admit it's been on my todo list to go back and read through the bug history (and I mean that literally, it's on my todo list) but I've managed to not get to it yet.
16:24 mmorgan kmlussier++
16:27 kmlussier RoganH: Yes, well, it was on my to-do list to test remingtron's most recent branch, but I think I needed a break from it. Break time's over. :)
16:28 RoganH Given how many different workflows and opinions I can expect on this just within SCLENDS I know getting consensus throughout the entire community can be challenging.

16:30 Dyrcona Simple soluton: Everyone stops charging fines, etc.
16:30 * Dyrcona ducks.
16:30 kmlussier Dyrcona: That thought has crossed my mind. :)
16:31 kmlussier If we only needed to handle the lost book fees and didn't need to worry about whether fines needed to be reinstated or new fines generator, it would take a fair amount of complexity out of the whole discussion.
16:31 * kmlussier can dream
16:31 RoganH I have one library that doesn't charge fines.  Everyone else considers it heresy.  (Some get to keep it as revenue and it's needed).
16:33 Dyrcona Depending on how you count "charges fines" less than half of MVLC members do.
16:33 Dyrcona If you count charges for DVDs (but not books) then we hit roughly half.
16:34 RoganH The "don't charge fines" trend has never been popular in the south east at least.  I wonder if there is a regional element to it.
16:38 kmlussier It certainly hasn't caught on at my local library.
16:39 * kmlussier is a delinquent patron with lots of overdue fines on her record.
16:40 gmcharlt if kmlussier can do it... /me guilitily presents his membership card in the Not-So-Great Patron Club
16:42 RoganH I officially allow items to go overdue in order to keep a running test on notice generation so I'm never responsible for my fines, it's part of my job.  :)
16:42 gmcharlt heh
16:43 RoganH To be fair, when we have had issues I caught most of them that way before we had tickets filed.  :)
16:43 kmlussier RoganH: My local library isn't on Evergreen, so I don't have that excuse. Though one could argue that I use it as a way to compare the two systems.
16:44 kmlussier For example, I'm quite sure that, out of the box, Evergreen does not actually tell its users that they are "delinquent."
16:44 gmcharlt well, it would be nice if no ILS did, at least, not using those words
16:44 RoganH It's been so long since I don't remember what any of the default text is but that's a poor choice of words.
16:44 kmlussier gmcharlt: Yes, it would be nice, wouldn't it?
16:45 kmlussier The language provides me with a disincentive for paying my fines.
16:46 * kmlussier needs to scott.
16:46 kmlussier Scoot even.
16:47 kmlussier Have a nice night!
16:47 RoganH Who is scott?
16:47 RoganH bye!
16:52 Dyrcona And I'm signing off, too.
