I agree completely with Magnus and Zeno! "One Koha to rule them all", where country-specific development should strive to be as general and unobtrusive as possible for the time being, and then focusing on a better/stronger plug-in system!

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: > That said, I do think some principles should be applied: > > - Strive to make even the country specific features as general as > > possible, so that others can use them as starting points for similar > > features. > > - Strive to make the features as unobtrusive as possible. 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?"
