[Koha] Need a user friendly Koha users list

[Breeding, Marshall]

Vimal’s message prompts me to suggest that libraries using Koha review their information in lib-web-cats.

While there may be reasons to keep a separate listing on the community’s wiki, there are also advantages to also registering libraries using Koha in lib-web-cats.  The lib-web-cats international directory of libraries aims to include all of the libraries that use Koha, as well as other library automation systems.   It currently lists 1,285 Koha libraries:
  http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha
http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha

Inclusion on the Koha wiki provides a few more details on Koha version numbers and such (which are quickly outdated) and is a good resource for the Koha community.  lib-web-cats has a broad audience and provides exposure regarding the impact of Koha worldwide.  It is a component of Library Technology Guides (www.librarytechnology.org<http://www.librarytechnology.org>) which provides many resources on library automation products and organizations, including both open source and propriety options.

I do hope that any libraries involved with Koha that are not already included in lib-web-cats use this form to submit your information:
  http://www.librarytechnology.org/lwc-submit-library.pl
(Please search to be sure it’s not already listed to avoid duplicate entries)

You can also just drop me an e-mail with the information.

Dear Friends,

It seems that users list of Koha is in complete.
The reason is that Koha users feel difficult editing wiki pages.
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide

We need a user friendly interface to enter the details of libraries using Koha.
We can follow the model of Libwebcat of Marshal Breeding for new Koha users list,
 http://www.librarytechnology.org/libwebcats/
This information helpful for libraries they are like to implement Koha soon.
Using the information, they can find Koha installed libraries in their own area and can evaluate its performance.

Regards,
