[Koha] Number of Koha Libraries in the Word

[Liz Rea]

Hi,

I'd really like to see Hea improved, and link to that instead. It is our
own, open, data. It is fully voluntary. We can make the registration
process easier for libraries - possibly as part of the installer. It is too
hidden now.

An API to Hea that I could pull from to use the data on the website would
be a nice thing, but not a requirement. I'm happy to simply link to it.

We have this tool, we should encourage more strongly the use of it, instead
of depending on a third party with non-open data.

Liz
