Hi, I am a Debian developer and I wrote some weeks ago but I had no reply. I really would like to hear from you about this project. I think it can be very useful for free software community, and maybe it could be much more useful if it could become a Debian project avaible through Debian WWW pages. What do you think? Here is a short description of the project. ------------------------------------------- Our aim is to collect every document, every text released under the terms of a free license. We are using Dewey to classify documents. We are also using Dublin core metadata elements and OMF elements to classify resources. This ensures cross compatibility with librarian classification systems. The engine is ready and we are testing it. We used PHP+PostgreSQL. The test page is http://www.gfdd.org Every resource (document) stored in the database may have translations and published editions. Officially published edition/s / Main resource= \ Translation/s Example: Main resource: -------------- Debian GNU/Linux Guide (John Goerzen, Ossama Othman) (http://www.newriders.com/debian/html/noframes/debian-tutorial.html) | | | | Published editions: | | ------------------- | +--- 1) Debian Gnu/Linux : Guide to Installation and Usage (english, New | | Riders Publishing - http://www2.newriders.com/) | +--- 2) Debian GNU/Linux Guida all'installazione e all'uso (italian | translation (Hops Libri - http://www.hopslibri.com) | | Translations: | ------------- +--None avaible Here follows a simplified database structure for main resources, translations and published editions.
