Right, but that individualism is also what confuses the newbie. We all 
agree that information is spread all over the world & sometimes hard to 
find (just an example : MJ didn't knew that a koha-cvs mailing list 
existed !)

& I fully agree with rachel when she speaks of "portal".

Search koha on google :
The 1st is koha-fr.org (dont know why, I never submited anything 
specific to google)
The 2nd is koha.org, sourceforge is 8th. You appear as the last entry of 
the 2nd page.
The wiki is in the middle of the last page. The 1st smekota link is on 
the middle of the 4th page. kohalabs & koha webring are there too.
Other links are koha ILS related or not.

Specialists says that ppl rarely look after the 1st page, and almost 
never after the 2nd. So we need to have a portal & koha.org being 1st or so.


PS : ILS free & ILS GPL Give a lot of french.
It's because "ils" is "they", free is a famous ISP in France, and GPL is 
"Gaz de Pétrole Liquéfié" (don't know the term in english, probably LGP. 
It's a gas for cars)
