Also, we may make mistakes (says this ex-officer of an association
that failed through a mix of imperfect rules drafted by experts and a
lack of officer candidates IMO).

Starting a new foundation is not a quick fix and after 3+ years of
waiting for various people working on it and no idea what they've
produced, I'm very strongly in favour of joining an open association.

The poll is linked from
http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohafoundation
and you can find the phrase in "desires" in the quote from

by Paul Poulain.

Hrm, a statistician teaching librarians how to do research?
We're in a scary place now! ;-)
