Bug#247158: RFP: kaspaliste - a literature database - and more

Kaspaliste is a literature database. It handles all kinds of books, articles, journals, webpages etc.
The database goes beyond storing bibliographical information. There is the possibility to create
annotated links between pieces of information (like the content of a book chapter) and to group
links into categories.
The user interface works just like a web browser: You may follow the links to open records.
You may walk back and forward through previously edited records, change fields, and create
or delete links, publication, authors etc. on the fly with just one mouseclick.
Kaspaliste does not only store pieces of information about publications. It stores files as well.
Kaspaliste handels various formats like html, pdf, ps, dvi and pictures (depends on your
KDE-installation since the kpart-technology is used). You can for example store ocr'ed parts
of interesting publications. The fulltext search covers these files.
Another feature is the automatic generation of BibTex files.
Kaspaliste uses postgresql as backend. It is about to be rewritten completele and will then be
named literature. Up to the release of literature a debian package of kaspaliste would of course
make sense because the unerlying database will probably be the same (or may be converted).
And it seems quite powerfull, even now!
Please ask the developers for details.
