Stirling and East Dunbartonshire Councils choose Evergreen open source library management system February 16th, 2011
OTOH • This month Evergreen had its first library migrate from Evergreen to another ILS • We need Evergreen developers and we do not have a predictable means to develop/find them • IMHO, the current weakest link
Conclusions • We have reached critical mass in most areas • The day when basic functionality is lacking is fast upon us. • The areas where we will see FUD are narrower • The dream of what open source development can do is being realized
Now what? I believe our speed of development will be hard to match—the open source model works well in libraries What will we do? What can we do?
