Tim,
That list looks wonderful! I see it's only to be used for testing and training purposes. Any plans to make it "real"? I have a question about a few of the titles. Why is there more than one entry for some of them? Some examples: Glamour, Newsweek (4 entries), The Reader's digest, Popular mechanics. Were these patterns from different libraries? Or were the exceptions from the Horizon patterns copied in separately?

What I have done is somthing very simple you can see here. http://intranet.cwmars.org/serial_predictions People would be able to simply copy and past the patterns in the Evergreen client. However, if someone could do more developement I think there are probably much better ways to share this within Evergreen libraries.

I have to do some translation because all the comments are now in Dutch. I could do that this week and send it to you. The next challenge is 7 and 8 issues a year...

I can't speak to this specific prediction pattern. I'll be working more on predictions in the following weeks, if I figure out anything useful I'll reply. Currently there is no standard for sharing serials prediction patterns. A few of us (some Sitka, KCLS folks and Chris Cormack from Koha) had a really good conversation about this at the pub, and hopefully the Evergreen and Koha communities can figure out a way for libraries to share these. Are you interested in helping figure this out?

I read somewhere that patterns which were already made, would be made accessible for all. I've been searching for them, but could not find anything on the website. We already made a lot of different usable patterns, so maybe we can contribute. > > A pattern that is impossible for us to make, is that for serials that appear 5 or 10 times a year.
