Dear Sean, my name is Zeno Tajoli, I'm working in Italy in ICT for Libraries from 2000 as perl developer. I earn a Master of Library Science at Univesrity of NewCastel (UK). I work for CILEA, a vendor of Koha in Italy.
Obviously, we have to place a priority on meeting the needs of our paying clients and their time lines. At no time however would I want that to cast a doubt on our overall goal to work effectively with the community and make contributions. It just may be the case that given our current resourcing and economics that features built for our clients will be available to them first to test and flesh out. This will allow our contributions to be of a higher quality then if we released them immediately and to meet the demanding schedules we have inherited.
Is clear that the time table of paying clients is the priority for a vendor (for me it is).
As you point out, we have made available all of the software enhancements and mods that pre-date the acquisition in a fashion that the release managers can work with them.
this is the 'Harley Release', a very ggod job. Well done.
As I've said, this is not the case on LLEK due to decisions made by the previous owners.
Ok and you don't have the time/people/money to do the same for LLEK. What I suggest you ? Upload the tar.gz of LLEK somewhere with all docs and test that you have now. Publish the LLEK repository as you have now, also if it is not a git repository. Send a mail to koha-devel. We will download the code, we see what it is useful and we will re-implement the features. Probably not all features, only the most important. A little help is better that no help.
