[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen localization effort

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

Greetings!

I wanted to make sure you knew about a document that many people have
contributed to which compares Koha and Evergreen features (it is fairly
up-to-date).  You may find it useful:

Also, if you find any errors or would like to contribute to the document,
please do so!  Anyone can edit it to make it better.

Lori
