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.
