[Koha-devel] koha 4.0 / solR / Zebra : A working group is born ?

[Ian Walls]

Paul,


I'd very much like to be involved in the strategic planning for the
rebuilding of C4/Search to handle solR.  I'm eager to see it as a valid
option along side Zebra, for libraries who can support the heavier-weight
search system.  I think there is also a lot more we can milk out of Zebra
with a more generalized and otherwise cleaner search API.

I'm free for IRC meetings usually between 12:00 and 22:00 UTC, but could go
later if need be.

Cheers,


-Ian
