[Koha] Katipo/Koha Relationship With Greenstone Question

We know each other, and we (Katipo) have used & recommended Greenstone 
in the past for projects. Greenstone and our new product Kete are more 
direct competitors, although again we think they do fairly different 
things, and certainly have a different "reason for being". If you want a 
digital library that you can take with you on a CD or USB stick 
Greenstone is the bomb - if you want a community of neophytes to build a 
digital library that's what Kete is for.

We keep an eye each others development, hang out on each others mailing 
lists that sort of thing, and now that Katipo does a bit more in the 
digital library space we compete some as well in that sphere I think.
