Hi

If some of you have still not made up your mind, might I make a
suggestion. Please consider another alternative as well, NewGenLib. This
is now open source on GNU GPL and can be downloaded from
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/newgenlib.

Please also visit www.newgenlib.com to look at the features, technology
and functionality. I do believe it has features that are quite
comparable with Koha.
