Improve VuFind Installation List ===== Brainstorming from last time: * KOHA has opt-in for sharing information about the installation ([[https://hea.koha-community.org/]]) * Adding to installation seems like a good idea * An optional registration step on install/upgrade * Scrape-able tag * General information: version, ILS, institution type, repository size, user count, configuration * An online form perhaps?

Link to this from the installer screens. (Demian will do this). ===== 4.
