Hi, I just realized that I had created a happy coincidence by picking 6 September as the soft feature freeze date for 3.2. From docs/history.txt: September 6 1999 Work starts on Koha By the power invested in me by absolutely nobody, I hereby declare 6 September 2009 (by New Zealand reckoning) to be global Koha Day in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the inception of this project. My thanks to the Horowhenua Library Trust for initiating our common endeavor, and to all users and contributors past, present, and future for making Koha the exemplar of sharing that it is. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton Koha 3.2 Release Manager gmcharlt@gmail.com

What a great Idea. Maybe we can all celebrate it by pretending to have a mild panic over the realisation of what we had gotten ourselves into. Which is what we were doing about then :-)

Woo hoo! Thanks for the thanks but remember Koha is what it is thanks to the community who have supported and dreamed and developed and wrestled it into what it is today. Go Koha! Cheers Jo. Galen Charlton wrote:
