[Koha] Katipo/Koha Relationship With Greenstone Question

[Chris Cormack]

They do totally different things. You cant circulate items with
greenstone, ,... in fact you couldnt run a library with it at all.
Conversely, Koha currently you cant load digital content in, and search over it.

Fedora, Kete, Greenstone , lots more are similair

Koha, Evergreen, III, Sirsi Dynix's systems, those are similair

I think the most similair about Koha and Greenstone is they both have
the word library in their by lines :) They really are totally
different systems designed to do totally different things.

When Koha was first released, quite a few of us Katipods went up to
Hamilton to spend some time with the Greenstone developers, there are
always things you can learn from each other :) But no, not competing
at all
