[Koha-devel] Country-specific forks?

[Andreas Hedström Mace]

I agree completely with Magnus and Zeno! "One Koha to rule them all", where country-specific development should strive to be as general and unobtrusive as possible for the time being, and then focusing on a better/stronger plug-in system!

Best regards,
Andreas

I subscribe the option "one Koha to rule them all".
In fact in Italy is possible that "one login DB for all libraries" and "one Italian id for Authority[like Idref from France]" will became very important.

Clearly those principles are important:

and I hope that "in time, the plugin system can be made powerful enough that it can handle some or all of the country-specific features?"
