I think the key here is that Liblime is putting in the time to work with the LIS programs. I suspect if MassCat (or anyone else) had extended an offer, they would have accepted. <br>

>I'm with you Gary. I think this is a great opportunity for the LIS students and hope that they are indeed learning about library systems. And it is great that Liblime is supporting the students this way. I just hope they aren't getting instruction in how to be a part of an open source community from Liblime too!<br>

</div> This is not a new development; LibLime was doing this for years, it started under Josh. It might have been far enough back that it was before the fork, too.<br>

That said, I'm surprised that Simmons would decide to go with this over actual Koha. The folks at that GSLIS could foster a natural partnership with MassCat, so that part raises an eyebrow.<br>
