Hi all,

i feel strongly enough about this incident to comment too.
I have also added my support to Nicole's blog too

simply put (with the exception of Chris.C) Nicole plays the most crucial role in the *entire* Koha project
why?? because no-one else can be bothered to do that role... except Nicole

As a fellow ex-employee of LibLime (auspicious alumni indeed!), i wish to express my disgust against the personal (and refuted) attack against Nicole by PTFS/Liblime, and to offer my support to Nicole

PTFS/LibLime owe both Nicole and Dianna a public apology for this incident


Cheers, Mason
