[Koha-devel] Koha users wiki page outdated, use HEA

[Michael Kuhn]

Hi Paul

Calling this page says: "There is currently no text in this page."

Probably you meant https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users and 
pages like https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaUsers/Europe

Also in HEA I see there are 1'693 (unnamed) libraries listed, but only 
35 of the area really up to date (meaning working woith Koha 18.05.00 or 
18.05.01). Compared to the assumed 15'000 Koha libraries this is only 
0.2% of all libraries that we can be sure of they are really up to date.

Not all information on this page is outdated - only the untended data is 
outdated. I feel personally responsible for some of the data and can 
affirm this data is not outdated.

 > Any objection ?

HEA however doesn't give the same information as the "Koha_Users" pages 
give. The users page shows

* the country
* the location
* library type
* library name (often with URL to the OPAC, most interesting to me - but 
if it's not there I can search for the OPAC URL in Google using the 
library's name)
* and more information

to very SPECIFIC libraries - all of which is missing in HEA since 
https://hea.koha-community.org/ gives just numbers numbers numbers but 
at least I can't imagine how to wisely interpret or use them in most 
cases since I am absolutely sure they are not representative. To me 
personally, the only halfway interesting thing about HEA is the page 
about the use of the system preferences 
https://hea.koha-community.org/systempreferences
