From laurent.richard at ael.be Wed Jun 7 19:13:39 2006 From: laurent.richard at ael.be (Laurent RICHARD) Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2006 01:13:39 +0200 Subject: [Alexandria-list] Not a alexandria fork Message-ID: <1149722019.5233.26.camel@localhost> Hi folks, this little mail to present and introduce this projet to you. So my name is Laurent RICHARD and you might know me under the nickname Kouran on IRC. I'm a good pal of lrz and with him I found a way to combine my wish to learn and use Ruby and the neccessity of finding a subject for my final work in my evening classes. Indeed, I have learned Computer Science for three years. At the end of next year (it means June 2007 or September 2007), I will have to give to the school a software as proof of my knowledge and my capacity to code :) And here comes alexandria. With the arrival of RoR, lrz and I have thought of porting alexandria on web with RoR. All the features (minus some not applicable to web) and many more will be added. As so, we need your support, ideas of features and of course comments. Please feel free to talk about anything interest you. A list of prior features will be done by the end of August in order to serve as mandatory features to the application. Hope to read you soon.

I think you/we have specify what is the aim of a web-alexandria. Alexandria is a software to manage book collections ... so what are you going to put on the web? - do you plan to use a server application to use alexandria with M$ clients? - do we want to let the world know which books we have and if we liked them? I think alexandria could be used to manage small libraries. Probably it only lacks the infos on where is the book. Maybe a web alexandria can help the users of a library to search for the book, check if it is available and maybe reserve it. that's just an idea ... ciao Claudio From ralphmitchell at gmail.com Tue Jun 13 01:19:13 2006 From: ralphmitchell at gmail.com (Ralph Mitchell) Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 00:19:13 -0500 Subject: [Alexandria-list] Not a alexandria fork In-Reply-To: <1149722019.5233.26.camel@localhost> References: <1149722019.5233.26.camel@localhost> Message-ID: <997a524e0606122219u7b1a79d9i7fc9ca386b2b014b@mail.gmail.com> A couple of years ago I threw together a book collection database using PHP & MySQL.

A friend at work was thinking about setting up the same kind of thing because both he and his brother have book collections and would like to be able to see what they each have. They're in different cities, which makes casual sight access tedious... Anyway, one thing he talked about was a way to see what *new* books have been added recently. So, I guess a date-added field would be needed. Then you could search based on time added, rather than by author, genre, title, etc. I gave the guy a copy of my code, but he probably didn't do anything with it. He couldn't even get Apache working under Window XP, even after watching me do the exact same thing and taking a copy of my config file...

The project of setting Alexandria on web sounds promising, though I have to agree with Claudio: the goals of the project, besides being usefull for your academic degree,other Laurent, are still to be defined. I'm dropping a line here only to make sure you are aware of the Distributed Library Project. It's not maintained anymore, but you'll find further information and the code (under GPL license) here: http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/dlp/ There are a few DLP nodes around the globe (some friends and myself are running the http://www.biblio.tk/) even though it has been discontinued. Hope it's usefull. Regards, Marc 2006/6/13, Ralph Mitchell : > A couple of years ago I threw together a book collection database using PHP > & MySQL.

The master of the jury doesn't seem enthousiastic at all about the subject. He want a more profesional subject which can can be deployed or uses in a profesional way. Wait and see for final decision. In case of bad luck, I will learn Ruby and contributed to Alexandria for fun during my spare time. See ya.
