Awesome news from Biblibre (quote from email sent to Koha developers):

I’m very pleased to announce that BibLibre has started working on a SOPAC connector for Koha.

SOPAC is a module of drupal, written to have a perfectly integrated web2.0 catalogue over the CMS drupal. You can find information here : http://www.thesocialopac.net/

It’s a new Biblibrian that works on that : jean-andré Santoni. He’s still a student, working on this subject for 2 months. Hopefully, once he has finished his school, he will be hired by BibLibre.

He will implement many new webservices, that will follow the DLF Discovery Interface scheme (http://diglib.org/architectures/ilsdi/)

He started last week, and the 1st days are very encouraging. We will let you know once it can be opened.

As usual, it will be GPL-ed, even if we still haven’t decided how to distribute the code (use koha, sopac or BibLibre tools & repositories ?)

happy day.

I love seeing open source products brought together to work in conjunction I can’t wait to see what these developments reveal!
