I am quite excited about the Koha project.  I think it fills a gaping
hole in the free software world.

The online demo is quite impressive, and the project looks promising.

I have been looking at FreeBSD and the amazing "ports" technology they
use.  Using a Makefile, they are able to specify where the source code
for a program resides, download it, apply patches to it, compile it,
and then install it.  I doubt that Koha needs such a powerful install
system, but I hope we could glean something from their idea, or their
code.

I am also excited about the database changes to help Koha become even
more MARC compatible.

This group is amazing!  It is wonderful to feel included.  Keep up the
good work!
