I know this discussion has sort of died, but I want to bring it back to everyone's attention. I'm working on the documentation for Koha and I'd love to be able to share it with everyone, but it's on hold until we get the new Plone site up and running.
Why's this blocking it? Plone is pretty well-known, so why not prepare and share in a Plone-upload-ready format? Not as good, but avoids a blocker.
Is there any way we can come up with a way to push the site up and fix the design after the fact? Look & feel is secondary to content - and I think it's easier to decide how we want things to look once we're actually using the tool.
I'm not so sure that look & feel is secondary to content (see the wiki - lots of good content lost in an awkward look and feel) but koha.org appears to be wholly controlled by Name:Sara Burger Organization:Metavore Inc. which is essentially liblime.com IIRC. Can you pull some strings at your work and tell koha-devel what the options are for moving this on?
I brought this up on #koha and was told that there was a prize for this design contest - I didn't realize that - and see how that makes things a bit more complicated - but I think we should come up with some sort of compromise to get the ball rolling.
Well, I've no great problem in junking the design contest (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel/380 for why) and I've no idea who is liable for all the lies now in http://www.koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1199901668.html but I'm sure it isn't "the Koha community" because most of us had no involvement in the running of this contest AFAIK.
