Two of the candidates for a non-Koha-specific foundation are the Apache Software Foundation and Horowhenua Library Trust. There is a little more about them on http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohafoundation - would either of those fit the bill? Sourceforge is not a FOSS project. It is a proprietary hosting platform service. It was once a hosting service based on a FOSS project, but that changed years ago, provoking creation of many alternatives like Savannah, GNA, BerliOS and more. I like the idea of the survey. It would be good if some of the already-stated desires could be like/dislike/don't-care tickboxes at some point in it. Has anyone time to do it before Tuesday?
