[Koha] Crowdfunding for Koha Online Purchase Suggestion

[vinod mishra]

Dear all/Koha users,

As you know at present by default all the category of patrons can either
place purchase suggestions or not via opac but many educational institutes
only allow purchase suggestion by the faculty or some specific category of
users. Similarly in public and other libraries children’s may not be
allowed for purchase suggestions or lower level of non technical/teaching
staffs in special libraries. Hence this restriction is very much needed
which is applicable for all libraries globally. As per discussion and email
one of the leading Koha supporter/Developer L2C2 from India (
http://www.l2c2.co.in/) is ready to develop the said feature and the charge
would be only Rs. 20000/- (Approx USD 280). Hence i am ready to pay Rs.
5000 and expecting some more contributors with a minimum of Rs. 1000.
Kindly give your details through google form
<https://goo.gl/forms/8Z7zKrF3etK45AFq1> if you are willing to be part of
this voluntary support.

Please note that this is the correct method for getting the new feature in
Koha so that amount once paid the benefit will reach globally. I know many
of the good features has been added by Koha vendors on huge payment basis
specially by Indian government libraries but benefit never came to public
domain, which is against the open source ethics in my view. Please approach
your vendor to make such code public if you have already paid for it.
