Hi all,
I have filled out the survey and have some thoughts.
#1 - I was asked to put 'form a foundation now' on the list of options - but I thought we had decided on the chat that this was too time consuming a process at this time and that we just wanted to find a custodian for the time being while we go through the steps of forming a foundation?
#2 - Also, I copied the original list that we all gave MJ to create his poll as priorities for the foundation we form - my question is - do we want to focus on what we want the custodian org to do and then come up with another survey later when we're ready to form a group ourselves with questions of what it should do?
So this would be a two step process? Find someone to be a custodian now, and then form a foundation to take over custodial work? Even if you need a high level of responsiveness *now*, this might be a more difficult path than to just skipping to "create a foundation." And then there's the question of transferring rights and property a second time. Alternatively, I suppose the custodian organization could serve as the final destination. There's some good names on the list.
#3 - What is an opensearch portal for Koha? :)
(blink) I thought you knew. :-) Whatever it is, I'm all for it. :-D Thanks, -- Ben
