Great name.  (And I know that "Koha" sounds a bit too much like "coja" in 
Latin America.)

It's being used in many places already, though -- perhaps a less congested 
name could be found by the launch date?  A quick search turns up "OpenBook" 
being used as the name of:

"the world's most handy contact manager" (NOTE: claims a trademark)
http://www.programfiles.com/index.asp?ID=7641

"software developed for blind and visually impaired individuals to read, 
edit, and manage scanned images"
http://www.arkenstone.org/OB5general.html

"a process for auctioning corporate bonds to investors on the Web"
http://www.wrhambrecht.com/offerings/auctions/openbook/

"a joint initiative between Bible Society and Churches Together in England"
http://www.biblesociety.org.uk/uk/openbook.htm

and so on.

I've created some names without having anything to attach them to.  Perhaps 
"Eulexa" would suit this project?
