Hi there,

I'm Liam Davison, and I wrote the original documentation for
Alexandria, and I would be happy to help out with testing and
documentation again. I've downloaded SVN and had a quick run - didn't
go very well, I'm afraid - but I'll run proper tests over the weekend.

I'm glad that Alexandria has been resurrected, and kudos to the
designer of the new website - looks good.

I used to develop a parallel fork of Alexandria, called Carnegie,
which I hoped would be useful for publishers maintaining catalogues of
their own books. It was designed to have comprehensive support for
ONIX, but didn't get very far. Alexandria's current ONIX export
function produces files which aren't valid because Alexandria doesn't
store enough information.

If anyone would like to know more about Carnegie or ONIX support in
Alexandria, drop me an email.

Many thanks,

Liam
