[Koha-devel] Is Indexdata's Zebra a dead project?

[Tomas Cohen Arazi]

I answered this because on some bug (which one I don't remember) I was told
we shouldn't 'add features' to Zebra code. But I need to dig a bit to
remember.

It might have been a communication issue, but we haven't been adding
features to Zebra code
