#3 - What is an opensearch portal for Koha? :) [...] It was on MJ's original poll - I assume someone asked him to add it - or that he knows what it is :)
The poll is linked from http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohafoundation and you can find the phrase in "desires" in the quote from http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Koha-Foundation-p3453288.html by Paul Poulain.
Hrm, a statistician teaching librarians how to do research? We're in a scary place now! ;-)
Indeed...
From http://www.opensearch.org/Documentation/Frequently_asked_questions
"What is OpenSearch? "OpenSearch is a collection of simple formats for the sharing of search results. "You can use OpenSearch formats to help people discover and use your search engine and to syndicate search results across the web." [...] "OpenSearch was created by A9.com, an Amazon.com company, and the OpenSearch format is now in use by hundreds of search engines and search applications around the Internet. "The OpenSearch specification is made available according to the terms of a Creative Commons license so that everyone can participate." Okay, I'm still for it. :-) Thanks, -- Ben
