LibLime is working on a sponsored development to allow Koha to be used
as an OPAC for another ILS.  This would work by periodically loading
updated bib and item information from the source ILS.  It will also
integrate with some services provided by the source ILS to handle
patron empowerment features.

There are of course other open-source OPAC replacement projects as
well, including VUFind and Blacklight.

Galen
