I wrote an el-primitivo (as in, 3 tables or so) library management system some time back for one of Mozcom's client schools. Among the "duh, wiz" features were a MARC import and export facility, and online generation of barcodes that you could print and stick on your books. Nothing like Koha --- but Koha is so %^$! complicated that customizing it is a royal pain in the a**. As for education -- I used to flog this software called "Greenstone" which is a framework for providing learning materials. I even managed to get a boatload of materials from UNESCO in digitized, Greenstone format on a bunch of CD's from Belgium or something (they're sitting around here...) It would be nice if someone could consolidate all these developmental learning materials and provide them to schools. I mean, yes, you can get Encarta on CD for a pirate-warez price, but having public-domain references still has value. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
