Ben Ostrowsky forwarded this to me, I think it would be great if we could get as many koha responses to Pamela as possible. (I've removed the attached rtf, so you'll need to answer in plain text -- if you *need* the rtf, let me know and I'll send you a copy.) Public Libraries will need to act quickly to respond to this, your deadline in Oct 21 of this year. The rest of you have a bit longer, due dates start hitting in Jan 2003. Thanks in advance for taking this on. I'm sending a copy to the koha-translate list as well. Hopefully, we can get some of the non-english users of Koha to resond as well (Time will be really tight for them.)
