[Zope] Oedipus / Zope / python / product / XML ++

[Oleg Broytmann]

Hi!

   I write and maintain a project "Bookamrks Database and Internet robot"
(detailed announce after quotations). It is not exactly what you want, but
I have plans to add Oedipus to my list of databases. Probably there are
fields we may cooperate.
   I am very short on time these days :(

                    BOOKMARKS Database and Internet robot

WHAT IS IT
   Here is a set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to
manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Netscape Navigator, but I need more
features, so I write and maintain these programs for my needs. I need to
extend Navigator's "What's new" feature (Navigator 4 named it "Update
bookmarks").


WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0
   Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage
managers, writers and robots.


WHAT'S NEW in version 3.1.2
   Minor speed improvements in parser (just removed debug output if not in
debug mode).
   New program check_dups.py prints a list of duplcat URLs in the DB.
