Also, I find it interesting that now LibLime concludes that they are the "owner" of koha.org in the sense of being the final arbitrator of what is or is not published on that site. In the past they have championed themselves as "custodians" of the site.
If you have some time, please make a list of the past instances with citations to sources in which LibLime refer to themselves merely as custodian of the Koha community website.
My choice of words in that statement was deliberate as the outright statements to that effect are few. Here is one example taken from this email (http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-January/007167.html) regarding the Plone contest: "LibLime purchased the domain name from Katipo almost a year ago, and we feel a responsibility to do a good job as stewards of the site (just as Katipo did back in the day). Hence, we're happy to donate our time and resources to the site improvement. ... Cheers, -- Joshua Ferraro SUPPORT FOR OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE President, Technology migration, training, maintenance, support" However, the implication of this "custodianship" has been communicated through numerous avenues at numerous times. The location of them is left as a list archive search exercise for those interested, but here is one taken from this email (http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-July/008018.html) provided to serve as an example: "The bottom line is that the core Koha development community expressed dissatisfaction with all of the submitted designs, and we didn't plan for a [sic] scenerio where no-one liked any of them; for that reason, I hesitated to publish the results of our voting process. ... So Koha community, how shall we proceed?
