Ed: I've done a minor update to the web site mentioning koha and
openbook.
When I get more time and details I'll add some more to my site. 
Thanks for
pointing out these other projects.  It would have taken me a long time
to get
mine to the point that Koha is now.  I haven't seen the Open Book beta
yet.

I have offered to help write some docs for Koha, and I will start on
that
as soon as I have time to get all my software installed that it needs
and
actually install Koha on my system.  Rough drafts will be on a new
page on
the above mentioned site before I send them to koha. 

By the way I'm posting this message from my sister's computer using
the new Google Groups system (new to me anyway).  Good Job, Google.
