You may know about this one already, but the BL exposed the British

a good amount of info--the data model[2] might be a good place to start.

Hi code4lib folks,

hold the trademark in trust and not enforce it against any individual,
organization, or company who chooses to promote services around Koha in
New Zealand.
Well, the point of having a trademark at all is generally to enforce it
against people who are calling something that is _not_ Koha Koha.

For interface development, I'd suggest adding jQuery to the mix (especially
JQueryUI and JQuery Mobile). I find jQuery to be useful for two particular
things:
1) modifying interfaces over which you have limited direct control (like OPACs)

Probably the most important thing you can do is simply play around
with the technology. Get some ideas of what you want to play around
with. Then try to do it or see if someone else has already done it.
If someone else has done it, try to figure out how (open source for
the win).

Well I'll throw in my two cents.
Before I go into what I would offer for response, I partially agree with data
models. But I think it is more about understanding normal forms of data,
efficiency in storage and general database design. And I do not buy into the
idea that 10% knowledge will get

The key thing here, if PTFS actually means what they say, is that they
should assign the trademark APPLICATION over to HLT. Otherwise, the
posture is really just trying to convince you not to contest their
