I happen to be in Italy at the moment, having just attended a conference on digital libraries here. [1] My general impression is that actual coding in libraries is rare, but I could ask around among librarians I know here and see what they say. There are some libraries that have had to create

Salve!    How many nuclear physics geniuses have you met? ;) Giuseppe Angilella has been a Koha user for ages, and his early participation spurred a tonne of other folks to adopt before OSILSs were cool. He probably doesn't consider himself a coder, but there are many people that now
