[Koha] PTFS Koha Community Support and the Koha.org Website

[Joann Ransom]

Hi all,

Yes I have been asked as well, and my response remains exactly as it was 
when I answered Kelly's original post last week:

" I wonder if a better, more collegial approach, might be to redirect 
koha.org to the community site: koha-community.org."

I do believe this to be a better approach than going to head to head 
with the Koha global community by resurrecting the old site in 
competition with the new koha-community.org site which is working 
splendidly and which is available to the entire community in terms of 
adding and editing content.

Cheers Jo.

PS For the record, in case anyone is wondering, the  HLT Koha Committee 
has written twice inviting PTFS to discuss the Koha community assets 
including koha.org and have yet to be acknowledged by PTFS.
