[Koha] [Koha-devel] Who is Live DVD manager of version 3.12.x?

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

LIVE DVD is the best into  to a general  person of KOHA!
 
I remember back  when I first   tried to install it on  red  hat and there 
were all these   unsatisfied external   things  and  kati kaui  or what  
ever  you call   him was  PAT  so  that  is  .... 10 years ago or?
 
do not  do away  with live  dvd    it may be  one of the best marketing 
tools  you  have  to entice new   users.

Dear  Jared,
Don't conclude that Live DVD's are bad idea.
Developers and  librarians view points are different.
Librarians are end users of Koha,  developers are not end users, they are
facilitators.
I am not trying to  under estimate the role of developers.
Without a Live DVD Koha is a hard  nut to break, majority of LIS
professionals are not Linux experts and they  can't try Koha.

No need to release Live DVD with every version  updates.
One live DVD for entire 3.12.x release cycle is enough.
Koha  installed inside Live DVD by following Koha packages, users can
upgrade to  new version updates by executing commands or running  update
manager.

I would like to listen other members opinions about  this matter.

Regards,
