I want to comment here that Schools may be small and no matter what you
migrate to there will be a fairly large migration cost.  That is typical of
all migrations.  What I see is that software maintanance though may be a LOT
less in the long run over some of the competitors.

That's just my opinion and I believe as people look around and start
comparing apples to apples KOHA and LibLime might not be so out of the ball
park.
