Recent Developments Server internationalization!

Printing !!!: Lost print control when we migrated The Honor System Long-term goal to get it back Reached out to our support partner, and. . .
Bake it into LibKi “What'd I'd really like to do is get print management baked into Libki.”
Work Plan Phased approach: Keeps it simple Spread cost out or share it Develops “organically” as needs become apparent
Current Development Phase 1 Goals: Patron initiates print Staff release print job after payment Queue allows reprints Print in color or B/W Use existing Printers Prepare for “Phase 2”
Future? Phase 2 Goals: Add printing charges to Koha account? Remove staff from releasing job? Credit in Koha applied to printing? What we missed?
