[Koha] Interested in Open Source ILS?

[Paul]

It's a bit disappointing to look at the website advertized below, and find 
that at 
<<http://opensource-ils.cci.utk.edu/content/technical-resources#quicktabs-technical_support_resources=1>http://opensource-ils.cci.utk.edu/content/technical-resources#quicktabs-technical_support_resources=1>:

"This is the website of the member forums for Koha. Forums are available 
for federal government customers, state and local government customers, 
academic customers, and commercial customers."

refers to 
<<view-source:http://www.koha.org/member-forums>www.koha.org/member-forums> ...

Best - Paul
