Re: [Koha-devel] Fines Broken

[Tarallo, Andres]

Joshua:

I agree with you, a lot more work in Quality assurance has to be done. 
Since Koha is free software we have nobody to blame; other than we, the 
users and developers of Koha.

After a year deeply involved with the internals of Koha I realize that a 
lot has been done, but a lot more has to be done. Allmost every were in 
the source code you find repeated code. You can find functions that 
update or insert records and miss fields. Concurrency is not very well 
handled.

As a base product we have an outstanding product. However, a lot has to 
be done; that leads to a healthy free software project. I think that 
next release of Koha should put some focus not only in bug fixing, but 
also in getting rid of software constructions that are no longer in use 
or do the same thing.

This is my 20 cents peso uruguayo (sorry, no dollars or euros).
