Hello, I have agreed to give a webinar on Koha to a group of community-managed libraries here in the UK. It would be interesting to include some basic facts and figures: * How long has Koha been in existence? * How many libraries around the world are using it? * How many active developers are there? Does anyone have estimates for any of these? Thanks! Chris Brown
Hello Chris , According to librarytechnology website which is not official from koha there are about 4,976 libraries declared to be using koha. https://librarytechnology.org/libraries/search.pl?ILS=Koha However libraries that allowed koha community to share their statistics are less than that in https://hea.koha-community.org/ you will find that total libraries only 1,767 And using koha dashboard you can get an idea about recent active developers : https://dashboard.koha-community.org/ using :https://hea.koha-community.org/ you can find more statistics about koha usage here you can find some historical timeline : https://koha-community.org/about/history/
- September 6 1999 Work starts on Koha - July 21 2000 Koha 1.00 put up for download
I hope that helps , Best regards On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 2:19 PM Chris Brown <chris@stayawake.co.uk> wrote:

Hi Chris, a while ago this question was discussed on the list and we have since been using an estimate of about 15.000 libraries: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2016-August/046089.html https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/1638 explains about how Koha was started. For the number of developers you can refer to the history file that is part of Koha: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=docs/history.txt;h... Some other stats on development: http://git.koha-community.org/stats/koha-master/ https://www.openhub.net/p/koha Hope that helps, Katrin On 10.08.2018 08:19, Chris Brown wrote:
