Wow, it is good to hear these stories of positive MASSIVE upgrade scenarios in Koha.
- that there are work-arounds with the data - that the new instances are responsive I personally need to investigate the Koha to MARC mapping more ( http://translate.koha-community.org/manual/3.20/en/html-desktop/#kohamarcmapping ). We're running 3.20 currently and hopefully will not have such a severe upgrade when we do. But still... Thank you for sharing. Happy Almost Friday!
