[Koha] Koha News Update

[Joann Ransom]

Hi Kelly,

I wonder if a better, more collegial approach, might be to redirect 
koha.org to the community site: koha-community.org. This approach, I 
should think, would be better than going head to head with the Koha 
global community by resurrecting the old site in competition.

Cheers Jo.
