[Koha] Hea - any enhancement requests?

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Jonathan,

as we made it possible to configure geographic location data by library, 
I feel we should show all libraries on the map. There are some quite big 
consortia (or Turkey) that have only one installation presenting a lot 
of independent libraries.

Generally I think showing more information is better - It's interesting 
to learn about multi-branch libraries.

The formatting on the list by country is a bit different to the other 
pages, it would be nice to make it match the all libraries list a bit 
more and make it easier to read. I wonder if we have installations with 
branches in different countries?
