Hi,

I've just had a look at the kafka slides[1] from January HUG. It seems to me,
that bookkeeper and kafka are quite similar in there problem space. Is that
so? What are notable differences?
(Kafka is written in scala and therefor must be a *lot* cooler :-)

Thomas, Did you mean to say Hedwig instead of BookKeeper?
