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

[Ian Walls]

This project should not cause any regressions in Zebra functionality.  If a
function is available in Zebra that's not available in solR (or vice versa)
the reimplemented code should be flexible enough to accommodate that.  The
various features of each engine should be publicized to the community, and
then anyone can use that information to pick which engine best meets their
needs.  Hopefully Zebra and solR can both be grown in a way to bridge the
gap.

Cheers,


-Ian
