I don't know what sort of proof is needed about the use of Koha, but
the developers are all still around.  Chris Cormack and I wrote the
first code late in 1999.  Rachel Hamilkton-Williams and Simon Blake
from Katipo were involved with HLT, the key personnel there being
Rosalie Blake and Joanne Ransom.  It was called Koha before it went
very early in 2000 (it was a Y2K project).
