Hi everybody,

I have been working on the Hea website (hea.koha-community.org) this
afternoon to fix an issue reported by Sonia [1].
I noticed that the display and the information of the libraries are
not always accurate and useful, but I have trouble providing something
that would be ergonomic.

There are 2 things to display: the Koha's installations and the libraries
A Koha installation can have several libraries (branches).
We have 3 views:
- See all libraries https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries
- See by country https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries-by-country
- See on a map https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries-on-a-map

On the map there are only the installations that are displayed.
Before today all libraries from all installations were displayed on
the "all libraries" view, one row per library. It is still as it but
they are now grouped by installation: for instance search for
"Bibliothèque université Lyon 3" and you will see the different
libraries for this installation. I feel like it is better but not
perfect. We should at least remove the second if there is only 1
library and that it has the same value as the installation.

On the "by country" I have not changed anything, but libraries are
displayed. It seems that it would be better to display the
installations instead.

Basically my feeling is that we should only display the installations
on the map, "by country" and maybe on "all libraries" as well. And the
details of the installation on the installation view (for instance
https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries/602 for Lyon 3).

I guess somebody else could think the contrary and prefer to highlight
"per library" instead of "per installation".

I am open to any suggestions, feel free to open issue on the tracker
of the project or simply by answering to this email.

Regards,
Jonathan

PS: Yes some old/wrong data must be removed. I planned to remove all
data that have not been updated in the last 6 months (which represent
~300 installations out of 1145), but actually some seem valid, so it
is certainly a bug somewhere...
