docuementation?

I think we need to update this paragraph. How many libraries is Koha
installed in now? I know it's well beyond 100 ... probably
beyond 1000 ... maybe much higher ...

Here's the 'more information' (I know because I just cleaned up
bugzilla ... a long and boring job :-)):

Right now in bugzilla ...

we have 15 blocker bugs: http://tinyurl.com/kwuo3

we have 48 total bugs: http://tinyurl.com/gqbyn
(not including enhancements)

I would request that we spend some time fixing these, as there are
really not that many (compared to the unmanagable list we had before).
Maybe it's time to hold another bug squash mtg?

Cheers,
