VideLibri on Sourceforge
« on: October 09, 2010, 12:06:50 am »
Hi,
Today I moved my project VideLibri on the sourceforge site.
VideLibri can watch about the books you lend in a public library, and will automatically extends them all and warn you when the loan period will end soon.
It can also keep a history of every book you ever lend, and you can use that to let it create a BibTeX-literature file, or a statistic.
It is a very complex Lazarus program, containing a lot of original components, an own treelistview (although it doesn't even use the tree aspect...), an own diagram/graph drawing control, and a template based html parser. (I think I also wrote some announcements about these components here; but they were all written for VideLibri)

However, currently the program is almost completely useless for anyone who does not live in Germany, because it only supports a few German libraries. (If you happen to be there, these libraries are: the Stadtbüchereien Düsseldorf, the Fachhochschulbibliothek Düsseldorf, the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Düsseldorf, the Stadtbibliothek Aachen, and the BTH/Hochschulbibliothek der RWTH Aachen)
But since it is template based, it should be really easy to extend it with new libraries, and I hope that someone will do that, now that it is completely open-source.

[edit:]I forgot to say that the German page http://videlibri.sourceforge.net contains more information and some screenshots (which are also on the sf project page).
