Also, please remember, koha.org is a domain name that is owned (it was purchased in fact) by LibLime. We are the current stewards of the website, just like Katipo was for many years. Katipo decided to maintain the last revision of the Koha website using software they wrote (Kete),
Kea is the CMS used to manage koha.org
why do you nit pick us (LibLime) for wanting to deploy koha.org on plone? Our only aim with this move has been to improve and promote the Koha community through transparent community participation in the maintenance of the website, translation of the website, improved and up-to-date documentation.
If I recall correctly MJ, you own a Koha website; I know for sure there's another one, koha-fr.org, owned by BibLibre.
Is it OK if I remove the false statements and request republication? No, because you are implying that your opinion constitutes the official koha.org position, and the maintainers of the koha.org's decisions about how best to maintain it do not; in fact, as I've pointed out before, there is not and never has been an official process for determining the community's position on any given decision -- thusfar, because we have so few resources as a community, decisions have been made based on who had resources to do what.
Perhaps we're outgrowing our decision-making process and we need to explore a more official decision-making process. I'd also like to see this list be moderated with some rules of conduct, addressing rudeness and general posting guidelines.
Id strongly resist moderating for content, other than for spam. Down that road lies censorship.
The posts I've seen from you lately MJ are reminicent of years previous when you were a more active and somewhat negative voice in the Koha community; I am offended by your tone and I think you are hurting the community's morale, and causing stagnation and indecision.
I think that is also a bit harsh in tone, as was the word 'lies' (loaded
term, probably would have been best not using it MJ) Chris
