My main concern is people having Koha instances that already reached EOL and/or are not supported anymore. How to do it is the topic in discussion. I like the idea of a button (maybe in the form of a tab in the about page ;-) and maybe with a disclamer notice and a confirmation button). Having a syspref defaulting to "disabled" could work if this is troublesome in several jurisdictions.

I like this idea, assuming it is an opt in option. (and easily switched off again too)

TomÃ¡s, please tell me that this does NOT involve instances of Koha attempting, unsupervised, to contact an external website.

Thanks and best regards,
