Integration of koha with kete to use Koha as a Digital Library
I want to use koha as a digital Library. I am Working on kete and want to integate with koha3 to support koha as a digital library functionality. koha and Kete both uses zebra to indexing and seaching. As Zebra have highly capability to index full text, we can use it for full text seaching from kete database..
I am in very initial stage, and i want more support from kete community members. I invite to all members of kete and koha for open discussion so that we can proceed to achieve this objective.

Hi there,
I am delighted that there is interest in integrating Kete with Koha. I envisaged from the very beginning that this would be possible and our choice of programming tools, structure and standards were all selected with this in mind. I had thought that the search results drawn from Koha would display on another tab which held the Koha results; so the tabs could be koha, images, docs, audio, video, weblinks etc. But, there may well be better ways to do this.
I am not the technical person so can't help with programming, but Kete was my concept and I was part of the team who developed Koha so I would love to participate in discussions when I can add something (and just listen when I can't!).
Anyway - fantastic news!
