[Koha] LibLime Thoughts

[Kurt Bodling]

Ditto from here to what Cab wrote.

The decision to go Koha thru PTFS was made here before I was hired but
I'm told that we went with PTFS because 'the other vendors we approached
never really responded.'

I've been here less than 2 months and am therefore still learning my way
into the ways of Koha and of PTFS, but without much background (or
excess baggage) to use as a standard of judgment.  Our catalog also
doesn't go 'live' for several months yet as we are converting from a
card catalog.

That said, I'd add that so far we're pretty much happy with the way
we've been treated, and that I'm following these emails closely as an
open source supporter.

That would be us, among many others.

I suspect that most PTFS libraries are simply trying to process what
this means for them. And unfortunately, I also suspect that many may
feel there is relatively little to be gained by responding in public.

If they support PTFS's position, a public defense would put them in
the cross-hairs, a difficult position to be in considering they don't
know all the facts.

If they don't support it, they will most likely seek to open a dialog
with PTFS directly, or to simply bide their time until such time as
they're in a position to migrate to another vendor. No point in
annoying someone who may be in a position to make your life very
difficult.

Not saying which category we fall under :-)
