[Koha] Defining community participation [was: Koha demo linkson koha.org]

[Lenora Oftedahl]

Please, this conversation has now taken a turn for the much worse and is barely constructive.  Ok, IMNSHO, not at all helpful.

Can we all vote on foundation or not, joining forces or not when Nicole et al's survey comes out?  

Since LibLime has done a fix of sorts on the koha.org site as per requested, can we let that go as well?  

Thanx.
Lenora

Hey, the muck has been stirred.  Why not chime in?

Yes, you're very clear on the librarian's role in all this:  "Take
what we give you and shut up."

Best of luck with your next RFP.
