Re: [Koha-win32] New Zoom Search Download?

[Rob Weir]

Hi John,
Chris gave you a good explanation. I want to add just a bit to what he 
said. Because of the complexity of the zoom version, the consensus seems 
to be that it will be worth it primarily for larger libraries where zoom 
excels at searching large numbers of records. For small libraries, the 
development team is planning on maintaining a non-zoom version.

I don't know how big your library is, but you may want to consider if 
you want to invest the extra time in learning and maintaining the zoom 
version, especially while it is still in development. Because I work 
with a small library, I have not taken that plunge yet.

Paul wrote up some of his thoughts on the zoom versus non-zoom version 
at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=nozebra30  You may want to read that 
for some additional perspective.
