[Koha] How to make custom framework the default?

I think you can't.
As far as I know your only choice is to modify the default framework
according to your needs. If you have someone in your team who is
comfortable with SQL, he/she may be able to make a backup of the default
framework (called kohadefault, say) and then to copy all the settings
from your favourite framework in the default one.

That being said:
a. I may be wrong since I'm new to Koha.
b. If I'm right you may want to submit an enhancement for that.

That I don't know. Very interesting question, though.

Don't know either, I'm sorry.

Kind regards,
Sébastien.
