Hi,

I'd really like to see Hea improved, and link to that instead. It is our
own, open, data. It is fully voluntary. We can make the registration
process easier for libraries - possibly as part of the installer. It is too
hidden now.

An API to Hea that I could pull from to use the data on the website would
be a nice thing, but not a requirement. I'm happy to simply link to it.

We have this tool, we should encourage more strongly the use of it, instead
of depending on a third party with non-open data.

Great! What is the plan and timeline for this? Liz, are you willing to head this up? I would be more than happy to help on the design front. Who is going to be the main tech lead on this project?

Also, no one has commented on the issue of the non-tech element in this. As I said before, if you want libraries to actually use this it needs to look nice, be easy to access, and be sortable and searchable. The whole point of doing this page is so libraries who are looking to use Koha can find institutions that are similar to their own. I have posted info on Hea through the gitlab thing and it is not easy to use for the average Joe.
