I'm working on the 1.5 version.  The package name is "pim" which is somewhat
generic so I can call it "pim-tb" or something else you suggest.  But I like
"pim" if you don't care.  While it would be nice to get a sponsor to put 
it in the Sid archive, it's not an urgent priority for me.  So far 400 
people have d/l'd it with 4 subscribers at Freshmeat.  My main goal is 
to get some eyeballs on it and let it cook a while longer.  So far I 
have no external feedback.  It is highly useful to me.  See GOALS, 
below.

Info:
Hierarchical personal data manager. Schemas and data are stored in XML.
Uses GTK2. Designed for single users, small, personal databases.

///

Right now, it's a somewhat pedestrian but useful little list manager 
that implements table lookups / referential integrity, stores 
data/schemas in XML, and doesn't require a server. I use it to keep 
track of my TODO lists, Books I want, espcially useful are my Account #s 
for various companies and the address/phone on file they have for me, my 
credit card receipts, my .flag collection, and my calorie intake.

When combined with xsltproc to process the data it is very powerful.

Here are the GOALS I have for it:

GOAL: Factor view component out of main.c.
GOAL: Add SVG/HTML/Text-based reports.
GOAL: Add image/media integration (Document Management) -- also
requires versioning.
GOAL: Add Struts-style MVC; turn into an ERP client.
