Hi Galen,

Your bug report mentions "if the opactheme system preference is set to 
either 'prog' or 'ccsr', it should be changed to 'bootstrap'"

Ours (3.8.5) is set to 'prog' because we don't have any choice :=}  Is 
there some sort of document somewhere that I could look at to understand 
the evolution/options?

We're currently in the middle of our two-year cycle to upgrade our servers 
(either Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian 7.5) and when that's stabilized will look at 
upgrading Koha (not a top priority, as for our specialized needs -- not a 
lending library -- 3.8.5 "cutomized" is working extremely well.) So 
anything to do with OPAC appearance is of great interest to me.

There was a previous email noting that 3.8.x has no "maintainer."  I had 
offered (and am still willing), but have not yet been able to wrap my head 
around git. However, there is a possibility that we will stick with 3.8 in 
production.

tnx and br -- Paul
