Kete is a collaboration engine. It is open source software that you can use to create and share online. Write topics and upload images, audio, video, documents. Discuss them all. Link them together. It's a fun way to get things done. Check out the FAQ for more about Kete. Feel free to ask your questions there!
Kete was originally developed by Horowhenua Library Trust and Katipo Communications, Ltd. for the Kete Horowhenua site.
Kete is built around rich tools for collaboration with user generated content at its core while understanding that different circumstances may call for different types of access or privacy. You use the same tools whether you are uploading a totally public image or sharing in private to a limited number of users. Kete can also be extensively tailored to suit a particular use. Kete respects context.
This spirit of sharing and collaboration is extended even to data portability. Kete includes RSS feeds for everything from the normal site updates through to highly specific entries based on search results. Kete also has a built-in OAI-PMH repository that makes all of a site's public records available for metadata harvesting.
Kete sites may pull material in from related services across the internet. Integrate your organization’s other online collections, a library catalogue, another Kete site, or even Twitter into Kete searches and pages.
See "What is the roadmap for current and future development?" for more upcoming feature plans.
