[Koha] Koha Digest, Vol 148, Issue 21

[Farasat Shafi ullah]

Dear Vinod

My personal views as koha community user and part of volunteer LIS for koha
it is not really a fit solution rather it will kill the spirit of community
,  contribution and volunteerism I.e many koha support providers are doing
and free to do customization as per local need and if they think it is use
full after some period they can push their customized features to community
version QA to add if needed
I would rather welcome if some koha support companies in India took you
idea and do as I mentioned aforesaid
