this is great. just what we needed. someone to actually do something we

i will fool around some with it.

that is good. we will need regular and privileged users. regular ones
can submit new book info which has to be approved by the cabal to be
seen in the DB. :)

that sounds good.

i think just with some cleanup and done todos it can go public sooner.

awesome.

i can host it on my stemsystems.com box with cvs. ask and robrt have cvs
support at perl.rog which is just as good and probably better
admined. :)

thanx for this work.
