[Phpmylibrary-users] In acctive development again

[<ad...@po...>]

Greetings, 

PhpMyLibrary is now in active development again. New version will include 
revised catalog encoding process. It also include abstract search or 
fulltext searching. Usable for serial colletion like journals, etc. It can 
also be used as repository of thesis/dissertation database because of its 
fulltext/abstract searching capability. 

This will be released as version 2.1.1, addons, bugs or patches on this 
version will be named 2.1.1-1, 2.1.1-2, 2.1.1-x and so on. New minor feature 
addition will be named 2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.x, and so on. Major feature 
enhancement will be named 2.1.1, 2.2.1, 2.x.1, and so on. 

The 2.1.x version covers major enhancement in cataloging module. Which is 
heavily modified because of the inclusion of the abstract/fulltext field. 

The 2.2.x version will cover major enhancement in cataloging again. which i 
plan to release soon. I just want to release the 2.1 version because it has 
been done already. but i found a new easier cataloging approach which will 
be included in 2.2.x 

I will make it clear into my mind that the 2.0.x versions are just my 
initial approach on software development. The 2.1.x version onwards as I 
plan, should be more formal and active, and i hope i can get in touch to 
other developers interested in this project so that this will become more 
popular, more useful, stable and secure for the benefit of the community in 
the spirit of opensource development. 

I just made this announcement as a note for myself and to be my roadmap. I 
also made this comment so everyone is aware about the plans of phpmylibrary. 
Im also hopeful to get some active developers, testers, writers to join me 
in this effort to stabilize and make the software usable to the community. 
As i've know our list have 54 subscribed users so this letter can reach them 
all. Also i've known that the PhpMyLibrary users are being used by almost 
17% of US users as shown here

I hope other countries can get this software also, aside from the US who is 
now the frequent user of this software. 

I accept to myself that this software is popular to US and not on my 
homeland, Philippines. It's because the people in Philippines has a very 
high standard. It should pass first from the standard of US people before 
being used finally in their libraries. No problem with that, thats the case 
in my homeland. 

This seems long. Anyways, thanks for using this software. This mail is 
simply an annoucement that there has been new versions of PhpMyLibrary to be 
released soon to the public. 

Im not in active development of this software for at least two years I 
think, its because I developed and upgraded my technical knowhow and 
financial background so that I can again freely develop this software for 
the community.
