We developed a version 2 kernel implementation that was released into the public domain by the National Library of Canada. We also developed a demonstration version 2 client based on the kernel implementation, called CanSearch. We have made a proposal to a Canadian Information Highway funding agency for implementing version 3. This proposal has been accepted, but we need to find matching funds and are looking for business partners. The NLC currently has no timetable for moving to version 3.
