[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 might be better 
than going head to head with the Koha global community by resurrecting 
the old site in competition.

Cheers Jo.
