[Koha] Fwd: Koha questions!

[dschust at tx.rr.com]

You might contact Lori Ayer and see what she has to help you:

Seems like she has some type of document already like what you are talking about.

There is a huge difference between Koha.org - Liblime and koha-community.org - the original community of developers and users.

LibLime/PTFS is going more in a proprietary direction - "don't touch it we will do it for you" stance.  They put the code out there but with a "user beware" stance and little help unless you are a client.

Or you can work with any of the other companies that will work with you and you get community development which is 100% open source.  Then one would hope any work you put into it would get contributed back to the community in a collaborative way.

Hello,
        My supervisor asked me to look at Koha and compare its
features with our current ILS (Voyager).   We had seen a support
company's version of Koha a few years back and I started using this
company's version for the comparison.  Are support company versions of
Koha part of the Koha open source community?  How different is LibLime
Koha from other open source Koha?
        How many libraries use Koha currently?  How many academic
institutions?   Are most Koha sites hosted?  Are any academic
institutions maintaining their own open source Koha and working with
the Koha community?
        Is there a list of features Koha offers, compared to traditional ILS?

Thank you,
Catherine
