Hi all,
I propose that we immediately replace the first paragraph on the Koha homepage. I've gotten several winks from library professionals that the current language makes Koha sound like a homebrew project rather than an enterprise-level ILS.
Here's what I propose:
Koha (Maori for "Gift") is the first open-source Integrated Library System (ILS). Developed initially in New Zealand by Katipo Communications Ltd. and first deployed in January of 2000, it is currently maintained by a team of software providers and library technology staff from around the globe. Koha offers a full-featured ILS including a catalog, OPAC, circulation, cataloging and administration components.
Hmm Id still like to have something about HLT in there. Maybe Developed initially in New Zealand by Katipo Communications Ltd and Horowhenua Library Trust. ? Chris -- Chris Cormack Katipo Communications Programmer www.katipo.co.nz 027 4500 789
