I think the key here is that Liblime is putting in the time to work with the LIS programs.  I suspect if MassCat (or anyone else) had extended an offer, they would have accepted.

And it is great that Liblime is supporting the students this way.  I just hope they aren't getting instruction in how to be a part of an open source community from Liblime too!

    This is not a new development; LibLime was doing this for years, it started under Josh. It might have been far enough back that it was before the fork, too.


    That said, I'm surprised that Simmons would decide to go with this over actual Koha. The folks at that GSLIS could foster a natural partnership with MassCat, so that part raises an eyebrow.
