[Koha-devel] Koha Support provider

[Ian Walls]

MJ is correct: www.leals.com/library, the page that appears to contain the
most information about their ILS offerings (unless I'm missing a page... I
didn't do a full review of the site), does not link to
www.koha-community.org anywhere (as MJ already confirmed), nor does it even
reference Koha.  To quote:  "We provide a full-featured ILS solution"

There is also reference to EDIFACT integration (twice on the page), which is
still awaiting integration into Koha (a fact to which MJ and I can both
speak).  This indicates to me that leals is not offering services on the
community codebase, at least not exclusively.

I'll leave MJ's other concerns to be addressed by those more knowledgeable
than I, but facts above stand in my mind as blockers enough to listing.  I
would ask leals to remedy this by providing link backs to koha-community.org,
as well as referencing the software directly on their page.  Any
clarification about the nature of exactly what codebase they're offering
services upon would be appreciated.

I remember a discussion some time ago about the requirements for listing,
but I don't recall the resolution.  Perhaps I'm being too restrictive; I
have no objections to leals being listed if they do indeed provide Koha
support, but from their website I have no idea if that's true or not.  A
single link and the word "Koha" would go a long way in that regard.

Cheers,


-Ian
