StarRave is a zope/python product that manages information related to djs,
events, and promoters.  Specifically, this product is built for the Rave
scene, where there are hundreds of similar websites that do not share any
information.  StarRave allows these sites to transparently access
information stored on any remote StarRave server.

A few attempts have been made to house all the data related to raving, but
the abundance of overlapping ideas, names, and resources, creates a
maintenance bottleneck.  StarRave is designed to let each server maintian
information related to it's region, or it's record label, or it's event
schedule. 

Currently StarRave is set up in two parts, a "server" and a "host" .  The
server is the primary interface that most will see.  It enters, edits, and
displays data, while providing a rich interface.  The "host" collects data
from server sites, and organizes it all into a tidy xml package.

StarRave is compatible with 2.1.x versions of zope with some bugs.
starRave is compatible with 2.2.0 versions of zope with some catalog
inconsistancies

This product still needs work, but runs quite well.  Of course all
contributions are encouraged.
