Hi Paul,
No objection really, using Hea is a good thing and I recommend libraries
enable it. We should make asking about enabling it the last step of the
onboarder [is it there already? I forget...]. :)
What I would like to see, is a lighter weight checkin to hea, where if
you (or your IT department) were feeling a bit wary about sending all of
your syspref stats to Hea, you could send only your Library name and
contact information, if desired (Koha could, of course, provide things
like the currently running version) as a one off.
I recognise this is a feature request for Hea :D and I think I'd be
happy at some stage to build the bits into Koha that were required to
have the feature, if it seems like something desirable to have in
addition to the auto reporting.
I have other ideas about how one-off data could be used too, for example
you could flag those libraries if they never updated automatically (or
done an additional one off submission later) in Hea "this library hasn't
reported in for a long time - this entry may be suspect." Those could be
in an entirely separate list, too. Could also email the contact
automatically "hey update your entry if you're still using Koha!"
We all know that wiki pages are out of date the moment you click Save,
so using Hea really is the best way to register Koha usage for any
library. I just want it to be comfortable for every library to submit as
much or as little information as they are comfortable with.
Cheers,
Liz

Hello all,
I sent an email to anyone listed on
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers/Europe, asking to
update the reference, and explain HEA.
I got something like 15 bounces "email does not exist". I tried to
reach OPACs for each of them (when on the wiki page).
I removed references that : have been bounced, have OPAC not reachable
anymore, a very old version declared.

Hello,
someone pointed me the https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers
page.
The French libraries you can see here are so outdated that it's
funny: most libraries are supposed to be in version 2.x, supported by
me (not BibLibre. So more than 10 years old data...)
Other pages are also highly outdated, almost nothing with the current
version numbering schema. And now we have HEA (available since 3.18 IIRC)
I propose to:
* drop an email to all contacts saying "you're the contact for the
wiki page https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers, the
information here is outdated, please activate HEA (<<some
explanations about hea>>)"
* update the wiki pages to add a big warn on top of each, saying
"this page is outdated, see hea.koha-community.org")
Any objection ?
