Thanks Russel. I'd really like to hear from the potential delegates (Sylvia Bozan, Francine Masson, Pascale Nalon, Paul Poulain) what they'd do with the power we could give them to represent us at the meeting. Realistically, I can't get to Paris next Thursday, but I want to be part of KohaLa. It would be awful for KohaLa to be the start of a French fork project.

Don't spend more than one second to be afraid of that. It would be useless (to be afraid) ;-) -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org) Tel : 04 91 31 45 19

I thought that, but Pascale Nalon's recent call included "All those who would like to take an active part in the development, documentation, protection, promotion and the distribution of their preferred free ILS, please send a nomination email". How can existing developers join? Can we nominate without being at the Paris meeting?

Is KohaLa meant to be a fork? That would indeed be a shame. -- ----------------------------- Rachel Hamilton-Williams General Manager Katipo Communications Ltd Phone: +64-4-934 1285 Mobile: 021 389 128 E-mail: rachel@katipo.co.nz Web: www.katipo.co.nz

I'm told no, but I think if KohaLa forms without current users and developers (because I still can't see how we can join as founders), particularly all the current Kaitiki(sp!), RMs and QAs then it will start as a sort of fork by default. I've been sent some documents to review, but they're heavy and I'm having to brush up my legal French. (French law is code law, unlike the common law of many English-speaking countries, and that's just the start of it.)
