[Koha] [Koha-devel] Koha development

[Marshall Breeding]

For most of the vendors in the table, development is focused on one strategic product.  In some cases they may also have some other projects, so that whole number may not be devoted to the main ILS.  The column of interest is the one for “Dev” counting only developers, not the total headcount of the company.  That’s the one for which I am trying to derive a comparable figure for Koha.  I know that Catalyst is quite a large company involved with many projects, but I’m specifically interested in the personnel resources allocated to Koha.

Brendan,

Some personnel FTE numbers from last year can be seen on the tables from the Library Systems Report:
http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/sites/americanlibrariesmagazine.org/files/content/Charts_MarshallBreeding.pdf

The numbers are for the company overall, and not limited to efforts expended on specific products or projects.


In that case for Catalyst there are 235 staff, of which 182 are devs
