Unfortunately, I can`t wait till september, not to mention the 
'mainstream' version of Koha is rather unsuitable for Polish libraries, 
mostly placed in old buildings, divided into branches with separate 
locations, collections, desks, and sometimes different borrowing and 
charging policies. I cooperate with Wojciech Zatorski, who is working on 
a 'university' version, heavily modified compared to the 'mainstream' 
one, but thought that something as obvious as holiday handling would be 
already included in 'standard' Koha. As I said before, there`s no need 
for a GUI, a table with dates to skip and a couple lines of code would 
be plenty enough :)
