Knowing absolutely jack about library systems, perhaps adding marc support
to koha would be a good 'project' for teh PLUG devel group?  I think it
much more valuable to do something that benefits people and learn than
just demo to learn.

As if I hear Brian correctly he is saying if Marc support existed in koha,
that he would entertain the idea of dropping a prop package for a GPL one.
