I should have chosen my words more carefully. The Koha community is very supportive and very friendly. I don't think there's an open source community that is warmer and receptive than this one. I'm reminded of that every time I look at the photo of my child in a "Future Koha Developer" onesie that Katrin sent us when bub was born. It's true that you don't need extensive influence/power to get code into the community, and I use my first patch as evidence of that: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=b49af1df17c06cb41d168fa154cb2104798c33cf. I'd been using Koha for less than 2 months at that point, and I didn't really know anyone in the Koha community. I think my earlier comment about influence/power relates to particular frustrations experienced by individuals that can be discussed elsewhere. Good luck with the elections, Martin! Koha would be very safe in your hands! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
