<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I welcome John Yokley's
statement calling for steps to reduce divisiveness and for creation of a
foundation to hold all Koha trademarks and domain names as a very
positive step. However his specific proposal is just a starting point for
discussion and I agree entirely with the suggestions for an entirely open
discussion by all parties of approaches to a foundation or other umbrella
Koha organization that will indeed not be dominated by any single company
or organization. I encourage John or Patrick Jones to attend KohaCon as
an ideal step toward open discussion.<br><br>
However, I am distressed by a few responses that seem personally hostile.
We like to speak about the Koha "community." A community is
better served through reasonable discussion and exchange of views and I
would like to suggest that it will be more productive and professional to
seek the high road in our postings to the list.<br><br>
