Hi Sebastian

We discussed this issue before and a number of very impressive figures were
quoted, but when I go to the home page of the Koha community, at
https://koha-community.org/about/libraries/, I only see a sample of Koha
libraries and our library is missing.

I was not aware of this list, which is very incomplete and uninformative compared to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide or especially to Marshall Breedings great list of Koha libraries throughout the world at https://librarytechnology.org/lwc-processquery.pl?ILS=Koha (which actually list 4'427 libraries with a lot of details).

Please do not get me wrong, I think that the list is good, but as any list,
hard to keep up to date.

In light of our marketing effort, we should bring it as up to date as we
can. In order to get us listed, I went to https://gitlab.com/koha-
community-devs-users/Koha-library-list/ and clicked on "Merge Request," but
could find how to place a new request. There is no "new" button or
similar.  Others were able to do it and I applaud them, but we are not
going to get many new libraries to list themselves and keep this list
relevant, if they cannot easily and immediately place a request.  Is this
something that could be fixed?  I.e. add a green "NEW" button or something
of the sort.  And could you explain me how I could add our library?

To me it seems an absolutely horrible idea that libraries or anyone should learn or use Git when they want to include themselves in a simple list. Instead I suggest to delete this list and instead link to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide

In my case however I stick to the above mentioned lists and I will simply ignore the list at https://koha-community.org/about/libraries/ when adding new libraries.

Best wishes: Michael
