[Koha] Well, this is disappointing ...

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

I'm with you Gary. I think this is a great opportunity for the LIS students
and hope that they are indeed learning about library systems. And it is
great that Liblime is supporting the students this way.  I just hope they
aren't getting instruction in how to be a part of an open source community
from Liblime too!

As I tweeted....I'd rather be the one doing the Open Source instruction for
these students than Liblime!
