Not sure if Carl C is striking the same problem but when I was looking for our local Toy library ( for similar reasons) the challenge was finding something that would track multiple component of a main item. While Koha handled the single items (tricycle, scooter etc.) things that had subitems (1000 piece jigsaw, play house w/furniture...) just got too hard to do.
Given that my programming skills are appalliing to say the least and they needed something right there and then we ended up having to go down the wintel upgrade path... would be good to get something together for next time though
> Copious amounts of free time are what is needed, as ever...
There is another way.
Sponsorship.
Toy libraries are always short of cash, so it would have to be corporate. Perhaps a company already involved in open source software looking for some more good PR. Perhaps a company like ... IBM? Now, I wonder if there's anybody on the list from IBM ;-)
I've got the skills and can make the time (current boss willing - I think he'd be OK) if you've got the cash, Carl K.
Cheers, Carl C.
