As I mentioned, Biblios is a separate project from Koha, and we
haven't done the initial
release yet. It will be available to everyone under the terms of the
GPL once we've released
the initial version.

Regarding the login error, we've had a lot of problems with the public
messing with the demo,
changing settings, deleting features, etc., so we've had to restrict
the user to a limited subset
of functionality. At a future time we plan to set up a nightly database refresh.

Cheers,
