</div>I like Chris's idea better. List everyone who applies, without<br>
judgment. Maybe even randomize the list on each view.<br>
I believe that removing the vendor list would definitely hurt the<br>
project itself. Right now, if a library is interested, they have one<br>
page where they can find every koha vendor ( at least all the one's<br>
serious enough to get listed. )<br>
<div><br></div></blockquote></div><div><br>Just to add another idea about the organization of the vendor listing
page - why not create a map - then it's not random and it's not alpha -
you zoom into your country and see who's there - just an idea since I
just finished teaching my mashups workshop and we talked about map
mashups :)<br> </div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div>

</div>As long as Liblime is the only entity with complete control over<br>
<a href="http://koha.org" target="_blank">koha.org</a>, that's not going to happen.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>The idea is that this is going to change - we're going to form a committee and work with the group we choose in the survey to control Koha assets.<br>
