In IBM there's a religion in software that says you have to count K-LOC= s,
and a K-LOC is a thousand line of code. How big a project is it? Oh, it'= ;s
sort of a 10K-LOC project. This is a 20K-LOCer. And this is 5OK-LOCs. And IBM wanted to sort of make it the religion about how we got paid. How much<= br> money we made off OS 2, how much they did. How many K-LOCs did you do? And<= br> we kept trying to convince them - hey, if we have - a developer's got a=
good idea and he can get something done in 4K-LOCs instead of 20K-LOCs,

less KLOC. K-LOCs, K-LOCs, that's the methodology. Ugh anyway, that alw= ays

This is not an issue that can easily be resolved unfortunately= and the koha-manage group decided to list by date of entry rather than the= above ideas.

4. =A0LAYOUT.

I also note some cases where text containing layout elements are too
narrow for the content included and text is sloppily spilling out of those<= br> elements and overlaps the body element. =A0I have not seen it yet in my
brief view but the hazard is that text spilling out of one element will
overwrite text in other text containing elements. =A0This problem is eviden= t
with standard browser settings for any user.
Please detail= these issues and provide some suggestions for fixes to the CSS if you can = and we'll do our best to update.

Increasing the text size for disability access would only exacerbate such already existing problems. =A0Plone can be perfectly compliant with
disability access rules but implementers need to observe them.

If you notice, there is an 'accessibility' link which should a= ddress this concern.
