[Koha-devel] hola (fwd)

[Pat Eyler]

Thought I'd pass this along to the list.   I'm trying to recruit some help
in developing and internationalizing koha ... this was my first shot at
it.

thoughts, comments, questions?

hola, yo habla un poco espanol, lo siento.

I hope english will work.

I'm working on a free software library automation project (for traditional
book/media collections) called koha (Maori for 'gift')[1].  It uses perl
and mysql, and will run on a variety of free unix-like systems.  Currently
koha works very well for smaller libraries, and is installed at a number
of libraries around the world.  Our goal is to turn it into a system
capable of handling large libraries, even to the point of supporting
National Libraries.

Given Peru's recent entrance into the limelight of the Free Software
world, it would seem that there is a opportunity for co-operation.  Do you
know of a Peruvian organization that we could work with us to:
 a) help localize koha for spanish speakers
 b) ensure the functionality that peruvian libraries (and the peruvian
    governmant) need is present in koha
 c) help build local (Peruvian) interest in and support for koha
