In the meeting, I asked how long they estimated it would take for the official Koha community to integrate the code once it had been released. First one Liblime staffer said two or three years and then another one said, 'more like four or five years'.
Very nice. An anonymous Liblime troll takes the opportunity to insult the Koha community. Look: Either PTFS/Liblime can integrate the code or not. The Koha community is not going to undertake any four to five year integration process. Anything that would take that long to accomplish would be easier done by starting from scratch.
Today, someone from Liblime contacted me to explain that the estimate of 4 or 5 years as the time for the community to integrate such a large amount of code was a "humorous ad lib comment" rather than a serious answer to my question
Perhaps someone from Liblime could sign up for the mailing list and start communicating directly? What seems clear from this exchange is that PTFS/Liblime believes that it is the responsibility of others to integrate their code into Koha rather than something that is inherent to the process of working on an open source project. If this is the case, then LEK and Harley are not trunks. They're forks. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
