I'm confused, what do you mean by "open source and vendor"? There's vendors/companies that develop for and support Koha. Open source and vendor/commercial activity are not mutually exclusive. Did you mean open source and proprietary? There's lots of combination of ILSes and how to manage them out there. Open Source ILS / local servers / no support contracts Open source ILS / hosted / no support contract Open source ILS / hosted / support contract Proprietary ILS / local servers / no support Open source ILS / hosted / no support contract Proprietary ILS / hosted / support Some of those combinations are pretty rare, but I could see all of them existing. And you could distinguish between support and development contracts, with the nice advantage of open source you can always change vendors or fund someone who's not your usual developer group depending on how the community around the project has been established. Harder to do that with proprietary software, but I've still heard of it happening. Are you interested in stuff like that? Or are you more just interested in how people's experience using Koha software itself compared ot other ILS options out there? Or the actual overall experience? Or which Koha vendor is the best?
