Hello Nicholas, good work. Here are a couple of answers for you. Rosalie Blake Head of Libraries Horowhenua Library Trust On 6 Nov 2001, at 13:40, Nicholas Stephen Rosasco wrote:
It's... I suppose I want to say traditional or maybe customary to include a Frequently Asked Questions file on an open source product. The various Koha websites at Katipo and the HLT websites are excellent, but aren't arranged in the usual question/answer format.
What is Koha? What can Koha do? Where can I get Koha? Where did Koha Come From? The name comes from the Maori word for a gift or donation. The programme was written by Katipo Communicaitons for the Horowhenua Library Trust, in response to a need for a library programme that would run at branch libraries connected to the central library by ordinary phone lines. See http://www.library.org.nz/koha.htm for the full story. Who or what is Katipo? See http://www.katipo.co.nz Where is Horowhenua? It's a small district on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand, wedged between the Tararua mountains and the Tasman sea. It's about an hour's drive north of Wellington city, and has population of 30,000. Who maintains Koha? What is needed to run Koha? How do I install Koha? Where can I get help with databases? Where can I get help with Koha? Can I get Koha in my own language? How can I contribute to Koha?
