Thank you, Michael! In view of our marketing initiative aimed at librarians who are not yet familiar with Koha it would be helpful to have such a list or a map illustrating Koha's international impact on our main website. Librarians not familiar with Koha usually are not familiar with the Koha wiki. If Marshall Breeding does a good job at keeping the list up to date, we should go with his--his expertise and objectivity would further provide credibility, though I would ideally want to work with him (or his data) to implement a visually stimulating map or list.
I fully agree that asking librarians to create profiles and learn how to use Git only to list themselves on a website for promotional purposes is not going to work and that the listing mechanism will have to be simplified. -Sebastian -- Sebastian Hierl, Ph.D. Drue Heinz Librarian, Arthur & Janet C.
