What is Kete?
Kete is an Open Source Ruby on Rails application, released
under the  
GPL. Initial development has been a partnership between the
Horowhenua  
Library Trust and Katipo Communications Ltd. funded as part
of the  
Community Partnership Fund in 2006.

Kete stores, organises, indexes and retrieves all sorts of
digital  
files including Office documents, PDF's, images, videos,
audio such as  
spoken word and music, website links, and html pages/text.

Kete encourages you to make links between different items
that enable  
users to browse your collection. It also faciltates
discussion about  
items and topics, so you can build understanding and foster 

collaboration.

Kete by default is open so that any member of the community
can  
participate by adding material, or editing entries.

You can make some items private, and some public, and you
can make  
some areas open to public input, and others "view
only".

You can collect lots of detailed information about a
"thing" whether  
that be a person, or a document, or picture, or you can not
require a  
lot at all.
