So what's happened to the non-Katipo, non-LibLime authors of the
website until a couple of days ago?  Are we cut off without so much as
a "thank you" now, all replaced by Tina Burger from LibLime (the only
webmaster I've found listed on the new site so far)?  Is the above
email arguing that LibLime bought the right to sack project webmasters
arbitrarily?

This smells really bad, like a further takeover of Koha project
resources which LibLime couldn't buy and posts whose holders hadn't
done anything to encourage their sacking.  This new website may be a
gift, but it looks like a horse of wood.  Please prove me wrong.
