Hi Galen, Nicole & all, Five remarks: 1. Thanks for the nice job, Nicole ! 2. I'd keep the text as abbreviation-free as possible (ILS, FOSS...). 3. I'd rather have the pointers at the top and the remarks about netiquette at the bottom, but IMO the way it is now has also its wisdom because it is likely that people will read the complete message, whereas is the pointers come first they may follow them and stop reading. 4. Regarding the netiquette, you may want to cite RFC 1855. 5. Thanks for the nice job, Nicole ! Cheers, Sébastien. PS: replying rather than editing because I'm not that sure...

The acronyms have been spelled out now.

OK, I've left it as is.
4. Regarding the netiquette, you may want to cite RFC 1855.
I've added a reference to that RFC.
5. Thanks for the nice job, Nicole !
Thanks also to Rachel, Irma, David, and MJ for useful edits to the wiki page. Unless there are any more comments, I'll ask that the Koha list welcome message be set to wiki version this Friday (US).
