<p>Ce billet est la reprise du <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=522">billet en anglais rédigé par Owen</a>. Je l'ai trouvé tellement juste, clair et complet que j'ai stoppé celui que j'avais commencé à rédiger pour simplement traduire le sien.</p> <p>En deux mots : le projet koha déménage et est maintenant hébergé sur <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.koha-community.org" title="http://www.koha-community.org">http://www.koha-community.org</a><br /> &lt;!--break--&gt;</p> <h1>Un peu d'histoire</h1> <p>Le site koha.org existe depuis la <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20000817093043/http://www.koha.org/">création de Koha</a>. Il était initialement géré par <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://katipo.co.nz/">Katipo Communications</a>, la société qui a développé Koha 1.0 pour le <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.library.org.nz/">Horowhenua Library Trust</a>. Lorsque l'activité Koha de katipo a été achetée par LibLime, le contrôle du domaine est également passé dans leurs mains. Des améliorations importantes ont été faites ensuite, et apparaissaient comme très positives.</p> <h1>Doléances</h1> <p>Hélas, ces derniers mois, l'intérêt de LibLime pour la gestion de ce site semble avoir disparu. L'information sur le site est, petit à petit, devenue dépassée. La page d'accueil de Koha indique que la dernière version est la 3.0.4 alors que la 3.0.5 a été diffusée il y a 2 mois. Encore pire, la page "téléchargement" liste la version 3.0.2, qui date de juin 2009, comme dernière version.<br /> Laisser des informations erronées est irresponsable.</p> <p>Au delà de l'accès au logiciel, le site propose également des informations sur les options de support commercial payant pour Koha, au travers de la page "pay for support". Depuis des mois, de nouvelles sociétés proposent de l'hébergement et du support, et attendent d'apparaître sur cette page. Le formulaire que les candidats doivent utiliser est cassé.</p> <h1>Solutions</h1> <p>La "communauté Koha" a tenté de joindre LibLime pour remédier à cette situation, sans succès. La communauté Koha a choisi le "Horowhenua Library Trust" comme gérant indépendant des actifs comme koha.org et les marques de commerce (trademark). Nous avons proposé à Liblime de reprendre le site vu leur peu d'intérêt et d'attention, de transférer le nom de domaine et sa gestion, bref, de laisser HLT et la communauté Koha reprendre le contrôle du site. </p> <p>Nous n'avons pas eu de réponse à ces demandes.</p> <p>La communauté n'a donc plus le choix : nous avons dû créer un nouveau site pour le projet Koha. Nous ne pouvons plus dépendre de la bonne volonté de LibLime. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.koha-community.org" title="www.koha-community.org">www.koha-community.org</a> a été créé rapidement et est très beau. Un merci tout particulier à <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nekls.org/">Liz, du Northeast Kansas Library System</a> pour tout son travail.</p> <p>Si vous voulez partager un lien vers le vrai site OpenSource koha, merci d'utiliser dorénavant <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.koha-community.org" title="http://www.koha-community.org">http://www.koha-community.org</a></p>

My library has a long and complicated history of how to deal with overdue notifications. We&#8217;ve tried a few different forms of printed notices, and at one time we even tried to telephone each patron with overdues. After we switched to Koha we got a new option: sending overdue notices via email. Koha didn&#8217;t have [...]
