Unfortunately, I can`t wait till september, not to mention the 'mainstream' version of Koha is rather unsuitable for Polish libraries, mostly placed in old buildings, divided into branches with separate locations, collections, desks, and sometimes different borrowing and charging policies. I cooperate with Wojciech Zatorski, who is working on a 'university' version, heavily modified compared to the 'mainstream' one, It'd be a shame to have a fork. We certainly have an interest in having mainline Koha suitable for Polish University libraries, and university libraries in general. Tumer Garip (Near East University) has done a lot of useful work toward that. LibLime is also working with some largish academics in the US that plan to sponsor some academic-specific functions.
The advantage of an OSS system in the first place is the ability to reuse code, if at all possible, lets try to work together to make the mainline version work for everyone. Maybe we need to separate Koha's settings out into profiles or something? Maybe switching to Git (distributed version control) would help? Any other ideas?
