Also, please remember, koha.org is a domain name that is owned (it

website, just like Katipo was for many years. Katipo decided to maintain
the last revision of the Koha website using software they wrote (Kete),
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.

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)
