Description m.wege 2004-10-19 11:13:42 UTC 
Version:           3.3 (using KDE 3.3.0,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-12)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-kanotix-5

I would like to have a plugin for managing my library loans. It should work like this:
Manage a list of loaned books, with the date the books have to given back. Remind me one or more times that I have to renew the books or to return the books to the liberary. Offer a link to webopac of the library for renewals. If I choose to renew a book, it should reschedule this in the list. The best option would be that this plugin could automaticly login into my library account and import the data. But there seem to be quite a few different standards. So I think this would be to complex.

this could be best implemented using a libkcal resource that generates a to-do for each book. The to-do would contain an attachment that points to the web-page for renewing, and also contain an alarm with a pre-defined duration.

Cheers,
Reinhold

May be it should also be designed that it can interoperate with an external book database like Telico. I do not use it myself, but may be it is useful for others. In general I love the way KDE programs integrate with each other. :-)
