FYI, the Features site (http://ils.foss4lib.org) includes over 1000 ILS features, the vast majority of which are functional in both Koha and Evergreen. Updates are current through nearly all of the version 3.14 new features (this will soon be reflected more clearly). Can you clarify for me which f

Hi Steve, Diana will be responding in more detail but the home page of the site lists the versions being compared. We are a bit behind but we do try to keep it as current as possible. I'm not sure who you are responding to when you make your "true believer" comment but I'm quite agnostic as to K

For someone trying to make up their mind choosing between Evergreen and Koha the website would send them to Evergreen. Just because you are a Koha true believer (this is the Koha listserv!) doesn't mean that everyone else will choose Koha. There is nothing in the comparison to indicate versio

Hi All, I'm sorry that the features listing is out-of-date but we will be bringing it up to speed very soon. As Nicole and Hugo mentioned, it is more about letting people know that the Koha and Evergreen product DO have all the features that people expect from the proprietary ILSs. I'd love to a

I'm with Hugo and Chris - in that it's not really a useful tool, but I worry that people will see it and say oh Koha (or Evergreen) can't do XYZ and so isn't as good as Proprietary System ABC. Just thought you should all know it's out there so you can educate people accordingly - I know I will. N

Hi I agree with Chris that comparison perhaps it is not useful, however this is a nice way of listing koha features quickly, from the point of view of users it could be interesting check main differences and from koha community is also an interesting source of development ideas ;) Hugo 2014-07

I'm actually pretty ambivalent about it. I don't see pitching Koha vs Evergreen is helpful. Either of them are always going to be better than any proprietary system. Simply because they are not proprietary. We'd be better off with a tool that shows how they are both better than Alma for examp

Not sure if you all saw this: http://ils.foss4lib.org but it's comparing Koha 3.10 to Evergreen 2.4 - we should probably get it up to date since Koha is not 3 releases ahead and has many of the features it says it doesn't. Nicole ___ Koha mailing list h
