[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Hello there :)

[Anoop Atre]

I wonder how often folks on the Koha list suggest Evergreen to people 
asking questions about Koha. Not that there is anything wrong with Koha, 
I've actually 'somewhat' helped install it on occasion, but if we want 
Evergreen to grow it's user base we better focus on helping new 
users/answering their questions and not direct them to other options. 
This is just a personal opinion and like I said not intended to start 
any flame-war with Koha people who of course are awesome!

To address Daniel's email - are there any Follette conversion scripts 
for Evergreen out there? I remember there was some discussion a few 
months back on the topic but no mention of how the migration was 
accomplished. He might find that useful in looking at moving to Evergreen.

Cheers
