Package: Distributed Library Project
System name: dlp
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Main DLP Site is http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/dlp/ .

DLP is a LAMP (Linux, Apache, Mysql, PHP/Perl) project for distributed 
librarys. 

Users create accounts complete with bios and interest enumerations, then list 
the books and videos that they own. Those users are then free to browse the 
books that others have listed - sorted by proximity, interest, and book 
commonality. If a book or video is available, a user can check it out directly 
from the owner.

There is an ebay-style feedback system for managing trust - users who return 
books on time get positive feedback, while users who damage books or return 
them late get negative feedback. These points create an overall "score" that 
lenders can use to judge the trustworthiness of a borrower.

The system also supports user reviews, reading lists, ISBN lookups, and 
collaboritve filtering.

Current code is http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/dlp/dlp-0.6.tar.gz

There are already differnt sites online, e.g.

http://www.communitybooks.org/
http://www.babelteka.org/

Other Comments:
the project has already a sourceforge site http://www.sourceforge.net/dlp, the 
project developers want to change to savannah nongnu because of the bad 
performance of sourceforge cvs-server, developer mailing-list is at 
groups.yahoo.com dlp-dev. I am not sure if you can post without signing in.
