Did you know that ByWater Solutions has offered Open Source - Open Libraries members special pricing? Yes indeed. Just to give you a sense of costs, if you are a library with 15,000 bib records or less, here's their deal:
Koha Install and Customization: $2,800.00
Data Migration $.10 Per Record
Annual Support: $1,000.00
Hosting: $,1200
This pricing requires a two-year commitment. Here's their flyer.
If you'd like to get a quote from ByWaters, you may contact them directly (and make sure you are part of the California Open Source - Open Libraries Consortium). You may get help from Lori Ayre to get some numbers from ByWaters (and other support companies). To get help, send a message using the Contact Us form.
There is a new RFC (Request for Comment) available on the Koha wiki for development of an ILL module. If you register on the site, you can submit your own requests for functionality. I've already added a couple. If you'd prefer, submit your suggestions for how an ILL module SHOULD work here (add a comment to this post) and I'll submit them.
Here's the URL if you'd like to see what's there so far. To register to participate directly, click on the Login button on the lower right hand corner of the page.

Due to continuing issues related to Liblime's retention of the Koha website, the community of Koha users decided to set up a new website for now. So, until further notice, the place to go for official Koha news is http://koha-community.org/.
