Thanks, we're pretty excited, as it turns out, 2/3 of applications
weren't accepted.

Definitely something we've thought of, and in fact, I've spoken
to Terry about this. We're in the middle of defining what would
be involved in making MARCEdit capable of 'pushing' updates to
Koha. I think it's a fantastic idea to add this to the list of
Google Ideas. I'll write an email to Terry and add it to our list,
thanks again for the idea!
