  5. While I am glad to see any open source effort, I wonder why this money is being spent to re-invent the wheel so to speak. There are at least two very good, mature FOSS ILS packages out there already. One is Koha (www.koha.org) and the other is Evergreen (www.open-ils.org). A better use of this money would be to assist in one or both of these current systems in an effort to improve/integrate them into the Kuali system.

    Regards
