Ideas? Another database that does work?
pybliographic works after updating python-gnome with you. It works well, and it is a mature project. Still... Adalgison suggested to try CDS/ISIS. What I found as open software was the client side, I think, it is incomplete yet. And I think it could be an overkill: it is designed for professional libraries, not really for home. I could be mistaken, though. Paul Trevethan suggested 'bookcase'. I have compiled version 0.6.6, obtained from 'http://periapsis.org/bookcase/'. It is nice kde application. I would like it to have some things that are planned for a much later version - like storing the scanned front page. The database is an XML file. pybliographic is more complete. It can store articles references, for example, not only books. What I miss is documentation. Not a description of features, but what should be stored where. For example, I don't know what is the difference between the editor and the publisher. Or what date should be stored on the 'date' field. The copyright, the printing, the purchase date? The program assumes you already know, and the nice html help doesn't include links to 'further reading'. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
