Project Organization
Technical decisions concerning the development of Koha are made every day by a variety of people:
- Individual developers
- Libraries who directly or indirectly contribute or sponsor new features
- Members of the release team
Discussion of development matters takes place on the chat and the Koha mailing lists.
The Horowhenua Library Trust, with the advice and consent of the Koha community, has established a committee empowered to:
- to advise the Trustees regarding the acquisition and safeguarding of property of the Koha project;
- to advise the Trustees regarding the disposal of property of the Koha project;
- to represent to the Trustees the views of the Koha community, insofar as these can be determined through the various forums that may exist from time to time within the community;
- to make any other representations to the Trustees that the Committee believes to be in the best interests of the Koha project
The rules of this committee are posted on this website.
The current members of this committee are
- Bob Birchall (Member at Large per clause 5.6)
- Paul Poulain (3.8 Release Manager)
- Frédéric Démians (Translation Manager)
