Its great to see open source solutions get resources. I'd feel more comfortable about it though, if it was made clearer whether or not this was a fork. For those new to open source development, a fork is a situation where you have have two sets of developers working on different versions of the same code; over time the two versions drift apart. Forks can be good (for example FreeBSD/NetBSD/...) but are generally bad for small projects as they create confusion for new users are effectively halve the developer productivity. A quick explaination of the exact relationship between Koha, Openbook (http://www.trfoundation.org/), Openbook (http://www.arkenstone.org/OB5general. html), Openbook (http://www.wrhambrecht.com/offerings/auctions/openbook/), Openbook (http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/) and Openbook (http://www.openbook.com.au/) would also be helpful. stuart -- stuart yeates <s.yeates@cs.waikato.ac.nz> aka `loam' "To err is human--but it feels divine." -- Mae West X-no-archive:yes
