Somewhat confused by that comment...

* 1693 unnamed libraries.. I see lots of names here.. am i missing something: https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries ?
* 35 really up to date.. t's useful to see the distribution of installed versions.. the HA stats are fed directly from koha installs and as such are automatically kept up to date. I don't really see what your point was there?
* It's easier to opt in to HEA than it is to manually add yourself to the wiki pages (if you even know of the existence of the wiki pages)
* Clicking through to the library detail page in HEA shows all the information and more doesn't it: https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries/274 - If there's something missing do feel free to request it's addition.

I would happily agree with Pauls proposed approach myself and I'd love to see more use of HEA.. perhaps this would act as another little reminder of HEA's existence and a drive to get more libraries to opt in.

The views expressed here are my own and not the views of the company I work for.

Calling this page says: "There is currently no text in this page."

Probably you meant https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users and
pages like https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers/Europe

Also in HEA I see there are 1'693 (unnamed) libraries listed, but only
35 of the area really up to date (meaning working woith Koha 18.05.00 or
18.05.01). Compared to the assumed 15'000 Koha libraries this is only
0.2% of all libraries that we can be sure of they are really up to date.

Not all information on this page is outdated - only the untended data is
outdated. I feel personally responsible for some of the data and can
affirm this data is not outdated.

 > Any objection ?

HEA however doesn't give the same information as the "Koha_Users" pages
give. The users page shows

* the country
* the location
* library type
* library name (often with URL to the OPAC, most interesting to me - but
if it's not there I can search for the OPAC URL in Google using the
library's name)
* and more information

to very SPECIFIC libraries - all of which is missing in HEA since
https://hea.koha-community.org/ gives just numbers numbers numbers but
at least I can't imagine how to wisely interpret or use them in most
cases since I am absolutely sure they are not representative. To me
personally, the only halfway interesting thing about HEA is the page
about the use of the system preferences
https://hea.koha-community.org/systempreferences
