[Koha] PTFS Acquisition of LibLime Reactivated and Completed (Wagner, Jane)

[gsl]

I think if PTFS wants to host the site on their servers, that would be fine, and their support and contributions would be more than welcome, as it is now. "The Community" should control the site, however, as koha-community.org is controlled and managed now. That implies that the community should own the domain name koha.org. I don't see anything that changes the need to make forward progress with the HLT organizational effort, which could hold the domain ownership. If that doesn't happen, then koha-community.org will continue to be the Real Koha website. PTFS could still own liblime.com.

Without commenting on any other effect of the announcement regarding the PTFS acquisition of LibLime, I am curious about views of the Koha community regarding the statement: "PTFS pledges to enhance and maintain the www.koha.org site as the focal point for the world’ s Koha activities– the place to find the latest information on Koha support, documentation, news, and downloads." Will a PTFS hosted koha.org be regarded as the web presence for the global Koha community? Will koha-community.org/ continue, and which site will in fact be regarded as the global community site?
