Hi Magnus and all,

So do we want one Koha to rule them all, including country-specific
features, or do we want one fork per country?
Personally, I prefer the former. In the case of the Norwegian patron
DB, that is one of the 2-3 "must have" features that all Norwegian
public libraries will be looking for when they are choosing between
Koha or some proprietary system. Should we be telling them "Nope, you
can't use the real Koha, but you can use this fork over here"? That
will not increase their confidence in choosing Koha, I suspect.
I subscribe the option "one Koha to rule them all".
In fact in Italy is possible that "one login DB for all libraries" and
"one Italian id for Authority[like Idref from France]" will became very
important.
Clearly those principles are important:

and I hope that "in time, the plugin system can be made powerful enough
that it can handle some or all of the country-specific features?"
