[Koha] user support?

[Kathy Rippel]

I agree that there is a definite divide in the type of people that 
subscribe to this list. Many are the actual programmers and tech 
people that are into the actual "innards" of programming and tweaking Koha.

The rest of us are librarians and staff that could be defined as 
"users". We have a wide array of computer skills with using the 
program, practically, but not the underlying structures. How do you 
best run an overdue list, what field is appropriate for the ISBN, 
where do you put volume numbers so they display, etc. are the type of 
questions we encounter.

There is an overlap, of course. Some folks are in one-person 
situations. We all have common interests in the capabilities of Koha 
and future development.

So, yes, I agree that maybe we need two lists, but I would miss SOME 
of the interplay between the two camps!
