Wrong, because… >> >> By the way - why is there a koha-community and a koha out there. >> Very confusing. …that is part of the problem. There is Koha. Koha is a community product, the official website is koha-community.org. Koha is free and open source software. This is the official mailing list for Koha. And there is a non-free, non-friendly fork of a company called liblime, now owned by PTFS. They were part of the community up to some point and then decided it would be best for them to leave the free software world behind. They took the domain koha.org with them, pretending to do still do "Koha" and at some point also started using "KOHA". They have other names for their products too, but when you speak of KOHA, people that have been around here for some time think of that fork. And they do not think good things about it. I won't go into more detail here. The fork is no community product, there is no support available for it apart from paying that company (as far as I know) and they diverted from Koha years ago. So if you talk about the FOSS community product, please use Koha, not KOHA, because that is the most confusing thing about it. -- Mirko _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org [email protected] http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
