Why's this blocking it?  Plone is pretty well-known, so why not
prepare and share in a Plone-upload-ready format?  Not as good, but
avoids a blocker.

I'm not so sure that look & feel is secondary to content (see the wiki
- lots of good content lost in an awkward look and feel) but koha.org
appears to be wholly controlled by Name:Sara Burger
Organization:Metavore Inc. which is essentially liblime.com IIRC.
Can you pull some strings at your work and tell koha-devel what
the options are for moving this on?

Well, I've no great problem in junking the design contest (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.koha.devel/380
for why) and I've no idea who is liable for all the lies now in
http://www.koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1199901668.html
but I'm sure it isn't "the Koha community" because most of us had
no involvement in the running of this contest AFAIK.

Best wishes,
