I am quite excited about the Koha project. I think it fills a gaping hole in the free software world. The online demo is quite impressive, and the project looks promising. I have been looking at FreeBSD and the amazing "ports" technology they use. Using a Makefile, they are able to specify where the source code for a program resides, download it, apply patches to it, compile it, and then install it. I doubt that Koha needs such a powerful install system, but I hope we could glean something from their idea, or their code. I am also excited about the database changes to help Koha become even more MARC compatible. This group is amazing! It is wonderful to feel included. Keep up the good work! kolibrie
