To update the current website, log in to kea on koha2, pick a file,
edit it in the browser, then click to notify the webmaster (Russel
IIRC) that there's an update waiting.  If you need a login, ask Russel
- or maybe the people at Katipo can set them up too.  Russel's been
pretty helpful to me (including support by mobile phone at least
once!) although a bit slow to approve my latest edit (*nudge*) but I
guess Koha isn't part of his day job now.

I don't understand why the multi-lingual site hasn't happened yet.  I
thought Katipo were fairly familiar with the problems of multilingual
sites, given where Koha came from.  The main problem looks to me like
kea requires Javascript and all that, but many Plone sites seem as bad
for that - or will this be the big improvement which wins me over?

So what does "pretty non-transparent" mean?  Not at LibLime?  To me,
koha2 seems more transparent than this new Plone site's development!
