Yep, I go for this, inspired is the right word.


Who maintains Koha? 
Koha is currently maintained by a team of volunteer developers
spread across New Zealand, Canada, and the United States.

We could add poland to here as well, Pawel did the neat translation script
and has helped with installs in poland IIRC. 

Ill need to check this with Rosalie, but Horowhenua has 4 branches (well 3
really one is very very small and part time i think)
It has 28457 borrowers and 82733 items (according to the db)
It runs on an PIII 1ghz machine, running Debian GNU/Linux.
