/me just want to add that Koha is something very complex : it needs 
technical habilities AND librarian habilities.
It has to be a lot tweaked before showing it's power. The tweaking is 
mandatory : without it, you would think that it does not fit exactly 
your needs.

the z3950-daemon works in a real library since 3+ weeks in 2 of my 
libraries (Sorbonne & Chambery). No problems here.
TJ Kotula sends me today some informations about the daemon loosing 
forks when he enters a lot of servers (>14 !!!). He sends me a 
suggestion to solve it (works for him).

I'm working a lot on HEAD branch to :
* clean some code
* css the templates.
* improve MARC searching & merge MARC & simple search.
The search is almost done. It could be ported to 2.0 probably, but it's 
not a trivial job, as it uses CSS & some other things that does not 
exist in 2.0 DB (like "seealso" field in MARC parameters)

Works fine for me ? (allthough a little slow)
