Dear friends, I am pleased to inform you that GFDD (GNUtemberg! Free Documentation Database) has reached a rather stable version. GFDD is already on-line (http://www.gfdd.org) and some documents have already been indexed. Our classification is based upon Dublin Core and OMF. GFDD is a free project for free documentation. We are looking for new developers (we love PHP and PostgreSQL...) to add new features to the database and new document maintainers (the ones who submit and maintain updated data). Also we need feedback to make powerful our db. Here is GFDD user's manual: http://test.gfdd.org/gfdd/manual/english/gfdd_user_s_manual1.html Join us! :) db@gnutemberg.org GFDD features: * free documentation indexing. Fields describing documents are: (title, license, description, version/edition, creation year, language, author, contributor, maintainer, keywords, main category, secondary category, source format, source URI, quick download URI, type) * translations management for every document. Fields describing translations are: (translated title, translator, translated version/edition, language, translation URI, quick download URI) * officially published documents management (free documentation you can find in bookstores). Fields describing published editions are: (publisher, published title, version/edition, published in year, language, ISBN, pages, price) * document ratings (you can vote documents) * statistical analysis * powerful search * `my GFDD documents` (Every user maintains documents submitted)
